The Lakers are heating up, they're hungry for wins, and their defense can carry them even when they don't shoot well. Saturday at Sacramento, they won by 15 despite shooting below 42%. The Hawks have lost seven of eight and six of those losses have come by double digits. They are one of the worst in the NBA and a perfect spot for the LAKERS to get a big blowout win at home on Sunday night.
