The Los Angeles Lakers defeated the Atlanta Hawks 124-114, ending Atlanta's four-game winning streak. Luka Doncic led Los Angeles with 32 points and 10 assists.
Why it matters
Atlanta's turnovers gave Los Angeles 29 points, and the Hawks fell behind by 20 points in the second quarter before cutting the deficit to four late in the fourth. The loss halts a stretch that had given Atlanta momentum heading into its next matchup.
Mamukelashvili (23 points) and Sexton (18 points) combined to shoot 8-for-12 from three-point range for Atlanta, while the Lakers' 29 points off Hawks turnovers proved decisive. The extraction does not indicate whether either Atlanta player's shooting output will continue in upcoming games.

Timeline
Game played on the night of November 9, 2026 (local time).
Atlanta's next game, against the Chicago Bulls, is scheduled for Friday.
Season Trajectory
The win gives the Lakers a result built on Doncic's dual scoring and playmaking, while Atlanta's loss breaks a streak that had lifted its early-season standing. Both results feed into how each team's season is being measured against the rest of the Western and Eastern Conference fields.
Doncic's 32-point, 10-assist night is the kind of line that matters for fantasy rosters this week. The Hawks' next game against the Chicago Bulls on Friday will show whether Atlanta can carry its offensive production forward after the turnover problems that cost it this one.
The takeaway
Ball security decided this game: the Hawks gave the Lakers 29 points off turnovers, a margin that outweighed Atlanta's hot shooting from Mamukelashvili and Sexton. Keeping possessions clean is the simplest lever Atlanta can pull before its next game.
