Mouhamed Gueye and Zaccharie Risacher combined for 40 points to help the short-handed Atlanta Hawks take a 122-102 victory over the visiting Los Angeles Lakers on Saturday.
Gueye scored a career-high 21 points on 8-for-12 shooting and Risacher scored 19 to set the pace early as the Hawks ended the Lakers’ five-game winning streak. Atlanta was playing without four starters: Nickeil Alexander-Walker (back), Jalen Johnson (quad), Kristaps Porzingis (illness management) and Trae Young (MCL), as well as Luke Kennard (flu-like symptoms).
The Hawks had seven scorers in double figures, including rookie Asa Newell with a career-high 17 points and four steals. Dyson Daniels nearly notched a triple-double with 10 points, eight rebounds and 13 assists.
