LeBron James has 25 points and 10 assists to lead a balanced attack as the depleted Lakers race to a 26-point first-half lead on their way to a 130-114 victory.
LOS ANGELES — Friday night saw the Lakers rack up a number of superlatives: their highest-scoring first quarter of the season, their biggest lead at halftime, their first four-game win streak.
The 130-114 victory might end up saying more about the Hawks than the Lakers, but comparing the two teams was revealing. As Atlanta spent nearly an entire half on its heels, the Lakers were hard-charging, grabbing rebounds and sprinting down the floor. Whereas the Hawks’ biggest star Trae Young struggled to get his teammates involved early, LeBron James had nine assists by halftime, along with a 21-point lead.
While James finished with 25 points, fueled by a furious fourth quarter, he also got to sit the last six minutes of the game – a rare luxury since All-Star big man Anthony Davis was injured last month.
