    LeBron leads Lakers past Hawks 130-114 for 4th straight win

    January 7, 2023No Comments

    LOS ANGELES (AP) — LeBron James had 25 points and 10 assists in his return from an illness, Russell Westbrook added 18 points, 11 rebounds and nine assists, and the Los Angeles Lakers beat the Atlanta Hawks 130-114 Friday night for their first four-game winning streak in just under a year.

    Kendrick Nunn had 23 points in the highest-scoring performance of his career with the injury-depleted Lakers, who never trailed while beating the Hawks for the second time in eight days. Los Angeles won in Atlanta on Dec. 30 with James scoring 47 points on his 38th birthday.

    The Lakers jumped to a 26-point lead in the first half of the rematch and hung on comfortably for their fifth win in six games overall. They hadn’t won four straight since Jan. 7, 2022, when they also beat Atlanta in Los Angeles.

    Thomas Bryant had 19 points and 13 rebounds for LA, while Dennis Schröder scored 21.

    Trae Young scored 21 of his 32 points in the second half for the Hawks, who have lost five of six. Unable to overcome a dismal first half, Atlanta has lost two of three on its four-game California road trip.

    James returned to the Lakers’ lineup after sitting out Wednesday’s impressive victory over Miami with a bad cold, but Los Angeles played without Anthony Davis, Lonnie Walker, Troy Brown, Damian Jones and Austin Reaves, the newest addition to Los Angeles’ long injury list with a strained left hamstring.

    Reaves and Walker, who has left knee tendinitis, are both out for at least two more weeks, depriving the Lakers (18-21) of two key rotational players as they attempt to keep up their overall solid play since a 2-10 start to coach Darvin Ham’s first season. Los Angeles used its 21st starting lineup of the 39-game season against Atlanta.

    “The Rubik’s Cube was one of my favorite toys growing up,” Ham said before the game. “Coming in real handy right now.”

    After putting up 37 points in their highest-scoring first quarter of the season, the Lakers opened a 26-point lead with a 25-8 run to start the second. Los Angeles’ 21-point halftime lead was also its largest of the season.

    Young scored 17 points in the third quarter, but the Lakers maintained a big lead.

    TIP-INS

    Hawks: Coach Nate McMillan got a technical foul with 4:10 to play for arguing a foul called on John Collins. … Clint Capela missed his sixth straight game with a right calf strain. … Ham was an assistant in Atlanta for five seasons before following Mike Budenholzer to Milwaukee in 2018.

    Lakers: Sterling Brown played three minutes for LA about nine hours after leaving Toronto’s G League affiliate to sign a 10-day contract with the Lakers. He played under Ham while both were with the Bucks from 2018-20. Brown is the younger brother of Shannon Brown, who won NBA titles with the Lakers in 2009 and 2010. … Gail Goodrich was the honorary captain. The 79-year-old Los Angeles native and UCLA product played nine of his 14 NBA seasons with the Lakers, eventually reaching the Hall of Fame.
