On Friday evening, the Los Angeles Lakers played the Hawks at State Farm Arena in Atlanta.

The Lakers lost (in overtime) by a score of 134-132.

A gut punch loss for the Lakers here in Atlanta, falling 134-132 in OT, after a couple late game miscues haunt them. LeBron's 39 pts, 11 ast, 10 reb, 3 blk and AD's 38 pts, 10 reb, 8 ast, 2 blk isn't enough to stop their skid as LAL's leaders also combined for 10 turnovers.

Skip Bayless: "LeBron banged knees with AD as Trae’s 3 to win was blocked by Christie. But The Mist Durable Player Ever is predictably ok. Overtime."
