Winner in Sacramento on Wednesday, Atlanta failed to chain a second consecutive success in California on Friday in the NBA.
Still deprived of Clint Capela, the Hawks lost 130-114 on the floor of the Los Angeles Lakers.
Superstar LeBron James had 25 points and 10 assists in that game, the Lakers’ fourth consecutive win. ‘King James’, who had been suffering from a cold for a few days, had already shone once morest the Hawks on December 30 – his 38th birthday – by scoring 47 points in Atlanta.
For the Hawks, it is already the 21st defeat of the season (in 39 games), the sixth in their last eight games. Clint Capela, who is still nursing his right calf, has only played one of his team’s last ten games.
