The Atlanta Hawks arrive in L.A. riding a seven-game winning streak and looking to build on that momentum in a rare, 12:30 local time tip-off against LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers on Saturday afternoon. The matchup against the Lakers is a start of an eight-game road trip out West for the Hawks. Atlanta received a jolt since firing head coach Lloyd Pierce on March 1 and replacing him with assistant coach Nate McMillan; the Hawks are 7-0 with the veteran NBA coach leading them.
