Key points

  • The Los Angeles Lakers beat the Atlanta Hawks 124-114 at State Farm Arena in Atlanta on Monday night, November 9, 2026.
  • The Lakers led from the first quarter.
  • Doncic came back after missing Sunday's win at Detroit with lower back tightness.

The Los Angeles Lakers beat the Atlanta Hawks 124-114 at State Farm Arena in Atlanta on Monday night, November 9, 2026. Luka Doncic returned with 32 points, 8 rebounds and 10 assists, and the win was the sixth in a row for Los Angeles.

The Lakers led from the first quarter. Los Angeles won the opening quarter 31-22 and the second 37-35 to lead 68-57 at halftime. Atlanta won the third quarter 33-27 and cut the lead to five points heading into the fourth. Los Angeles closed the game with a 29-24 fourth quarter. The Lakers led by as many as 20 points in the game. Atlanta's biggest lead was 8.

Doncic returns and fills the line

Doncic came back after missing Sunday's win at Detroit with lower back tightness. He played 39 minutes and scored 32 points on 11 of 22 shooting from the field and 7 of 7 from the free throw line. He added 8 rebounds, 10 assists and 5 steals, a line that led Los Angeles in points, assists and steals on the night.

The scoring behind him was spread out. Sandro Mamukelashvili scored 23 points with 8 rebounds for the Lakers. Walker Kessler had 21 points and 10 rebounds. Collin Sexton scored 18 points, and Ziaire Williams scored 12. Sexton started the second half in place of Matisse Thybulle, according to the game report carried in the package sources.

Atlanta scores in balance, gives the ball away

CJ McCollum led Atlanta with 21 points. Nickeil Alexander-Walker scored 20. Onyeka Okongwu had 16 points and 9 rebounds, and Jalen Johnson and Aaron Wiggins scored 15 each. Five Hawks reached 15 points, and Atlanta still lost by 10.

The team numbers show why. Los Angeles shot 52.9 percent from the field, 45 of 85, and scored 52 points in the paint. Atlanta shot 45.5 percent, 40 of 88. The Hawks outrebounded the Lakers 53-46 and passed for 33 assists against 30 for Los Angeles. But Atlanta committed 20 turnovers, and those lost possessions cost the home team the close third quarter comeback it had built.

Streaks and absences

The win lifted the Lakers to 10-2, with six straight wins. Atlanta fell to 7-5, and its four game winning streak ended. Austin Reaves and Quentin Grimes were inactive for the Lakers, listed with injury and illness. The final result and the quarter scores were confirmed by the Sportradar data feed, with the same quarter splits carried by Dailysports. Reuters reported the entering streaks and Doncic's absence at Detroit in its preview of the game.
