The Los Angeles Lakers are starting to get hot for the season. They got their fourth straight victory against the Atlanta Hawks in a dominating display at home. A complete team effort saw the purple and gold not take the wrong step. Moreover, Talen Horton-Tucker got his highlight moment after a thunderous dunk over a Hawks player. Even LeBron James couldn’t hold in his excitement after the slam.
With players slowly coming back in for the Lakers, they are looking more and more like a unit. They have shown flashes of this multiple times. However, they are starting to show consistency through their last four games. With such a win streak coming for the first time, the purple and gold will look to keep the momentum.
Likewise, Horton-Tucker gave them a boost for that after a mean dunk.

With the Lakers dominating the game, Horton-Tucker got the ball in his hands. After a few dribble moves, he got the space and decided to take it to the rack. However, no one expected Horton-Tucker to finish the play with an emphatic dunk. He had the entire Lakers bench on their feet, including LeBron who went wild at the sidelines.
The Hawks simply couldn’t find an answer for this Lakers team tonight. The Lake show came in prepared and successfully took their win streak to four games. They now improve to 21-19 for the season. For the Hawks, their downfall keeps getting worse after picking up yet another loss.
