The Los Angeles Lakers visit the Atlanta Hawks on Tuesday, and if you’re wondering how you can watch the action live, you’ve come to the right place.
After winning five of their previous seven games, the Lakers came out soft and several steps too slow against the Houston Rockets on Monday, Houston badly outclassed them in several key categories, particularly rebounding and fast-break points, and buried them, 135-119, to send them to a 24-24 record.
The Lakers are still in ninth place in the Western Conference, but time is rapidly running out for them to make a run and secure a playoff spot, not to mention give themselves any shot at championship contention.
Atlanta has a 19-27 record and is one of the NBA’s worst defensive teams. But it is a dangerous team because it can put up points and possesses one of the game’s streakiest stars, Trae Young. Young is averaging 27 points and 10.8 assists a game this season, and he has had four games with at least 40 points.
