LOS ANGELES—LeBron James scored 23 of his 32 points in the second half, Malik Monk added a season-high 29, and the Los Angeles Lakers held off the Atlanta Hawks 134–118 Friday night for their first four-game winning streak of the season.
Avery Bradley and Talen Horton-Tucker scored 21 points apiece for the Lakers, who have won five of six overall while remaining perfect on a five-game homestand that ends Sunday. With Anthony Davis the only major contributor still absent from their injury-plagued roster, the Lakers had a season-high 37 assists and continued to play their most cohesive basketball of their tumultuous season.
