Hawks fans, it was a late tip for EST folks on Tuesday night, but the Los Angeles Lakers picked up a 141-116 victory over Atlanta. The Hawks drop to 20-22, and have just one more game left on their West Coast road trip before heading back to State Farm Arena. 

So, what are some thoughts on the Hawks' loss to the Lakers? Curious to hear from all Hawks fans in this community. 

Jalen Johnson had a down night scoring with just 13 points, but there was a lot of good that happened on the offensive side of the basketball at least. Nickeil Alexander-Walker had a team-high 26 points and five made threes. New additions Corey Kispert and CJ McCollum had good offensive outputs as well. 

Kispert scored 19, and McCollum added 25 points on 11 made field goals. 

However, the Hawks didn't really show up on the defensive side of the ball, and Lebron James had a signature night with 31 points, nine rebounds, and 10 assists. 

The players Atlanta were without: Zaccharie Risacher, Luke Kennard, Kristaps Porzingis.

Even if you didn't get around to staying up for the whole game, what are some reactions from the Hawks' loss to the Lakers?
