After losing nine games in a row, the Lakers put together back-to-back wins after Monday's victory over the Atlanta Hawks.

Julius Randle led the way with 22 points and 14 rebounds, while Lonzo Ball did his best Draymond Green impersonation posting five points, 11 rebounds and 11 assists. Brook Lopez added 18 points. 


It was a game of runs for the Lakers, who bolted out to a 26-8 first quarter lead, thanks to a blistering 21-2 run, however the Kings chipped away, to go into half-time trailing 53-52.

The Lakers re-grouped in the third and with Brook Lopez heating up from deep, they went on a 26-5 run to wrestle back control and grab the win.
