Lakers opens up their season with a victory over the Hawks

The Los Angeles Lakers starts off their regular season with a victory on the road against the undefeated Atlanta Hawks. The "Baby" Lakers led by their star big man Julius Randle scored 20 points, grabbed 9 rebounds and he also showed his improvements on the defensive end as he had 2 steals to go along with 2 blocks. It wasn't just Julius who stepped up defensively but the rest of the Lakers as well as they were trapping the perimeter players of the Hawks all game and forcing them to shoot 12% from the perimeter on an abysmal 4/32 shooting. The improved Lakers bench outscored the Hawks 40-18 as they proved to be one of the best 2nd unit in the league.

Hawks star big man Dwight Howard had a monster performance 23 points and 18 rebounds, but it wasn't enough as the Hawks had no answer for the Lakers 2nd unit. Paul Millsap struggled offensively and defensively as well, he could not keep up with the faster and stronger Julius Randle. D'Angelo Russell had a quiet night and only scored 8 points, but he did came up huge in the last 2 minutes as he hit 2 mid range jumpers to ice the game.
