Halftime: Lakers 68, Hawks 57
LA's defense let up over the second half of that quarter. Still a strong half on both ends. They led by as many as 20. That was Collin Sexton's best half of the season (12 pts, 2 rebs, 4 asts, +11). Luka has 14 pts, 8 asts, and 4 stls. Kessler has 15 pts and 5 rebs.
With all the Hawks shooting themselves in the proverbial feet, the Lakers have poured gas on the fire with a banked-in three, and a rattle-and-hum three.

Dyson Daniels has (inexplicably) been sitting for 8 minutes straight and counting.
Pretty much nothing has gone well since he left the floor.

The Hawks scored 3 points in the final 5:47 of the first quarter.
20-3 run for the Lakers over that span to turn an 8-point lead into a 9-point deficit.
The bench unit got summarily torched.
Golly, the isolation action still stinks!
The Atlanta Hawks offense thrives when the possession has an advantage created by movement, a defensive mistake or an early transition opportunity.
The offense is considerably less effective when the ball stops and one player must beat a set defender.
Transition comprises 21.3% of tracked play-type possessions and produces 1.113 PPP.
Isolation accounts for only 3.6%, but produces just 0.646 PPP; third percentile in this dataset.

Jumps to +7.8 with Daniels on the floor, best of any Hawk with 75+ minutes.
