Game 2 at the Forum...with Lakers in a must win already. (Sorry for delay in the posting)
1st Quarter: Very slow start by both teams....where 6 minutes in the score was 8-3 in favor of LA. BJ Armstrong came in and hit three 3-balls and a total of 11 points, to get Lakers out of the gate with a decent lead.
Quarter running totals:
ATL - LA
Pts 13 26
FG% 26 53
Rebs 9(3) 12(2)
TOs 4 3
2nd Quarter: Lakers continued solid offensive effort, and unlike game one, was drawing fouls and getting to the line, and when they do that, they nail them. Twenty point halftime lead, with BJ leading the squad with 14pts.
Quarter running totals:
ATL - LA
Pts 36 56
FG% 39 55
Rebs 13(4) 20(4)
TOs 9 5
3rd Quarter: Offense was minimal in the 3rd, with Hawks doing well like they always do....however they could not score themselves...so no movement on the Lakers lead to make this close.
Quarter running totals:
ATL - LA
Pts 55 77
FG% 42 51
Rebs 26(7) 28(5)
TOs 18 8
4th Quarter: Hawks played in panic mode...and caused this to be a blowout. Hawks replaced starters mid-way to protect the stars....as Lakers evened the series.
Quarter running totals:
ATL - LA
Pts 72 100
FG% 39 51
Rebs 34(11) 40(9)
TOs 20 13
Final Comments: Lakers gave Atlanta something to think about...as they were up 33 at one point. Lakers protected the ball and stayed even on rebounding, and fast break points. Should be a pivotable game 3.
