In Monday night's game against the Atlanta Hawks, LeBron James showcased his versatility with 25 points, 10 assists, and seven rebounds, contributing significantly to the Los Angeles Lakers' 136-105 victory. Meanwhile, D’Angelo Russell had a standout performance, scoring 27 points and tying the Lakers' single-season record for 3-pointers with 183, surpassing Kobe Bryant's mark from the 2005-06 season and equaling Nick Van Exel's franchise record set in 1994-95.
Russell's impressive shooting included six 3-pointers, including a memorable buzzer-beater in the third quarter and two more early in the fourth to tie the record. Anthony Davis, who had 22 points and 15 rebounds, bounced back from a scratched cornea suffered in the previous game against Golden State, opting not to wear goggles. With this win, the Lakers ended a two-game losing streak and climbed back up to ninth place in the Western Conference standings.
