ATLANTA (AP) \u2014 The Los Angeles Lakers\u2019 five-game road trip started on a sour note on Saturday night with a 122-102 loss<\/a> against an injury-depleted Atlanta Hawks team that had LA coach JJ Redick visibly frustrated.<\/p>\n

The Lakers\u2019 biggest \u2014 and only \u2014 lead was by one point less than two minutes into the game. <\/p>\n

Redick<\/a> kept his postgame comments brief. He was asked six questions, all of which he answered in a sentence or less. The entire press conference was under two minutes.<\/p>\n

The Hawks got off to a hot start. By halftime, Atlanta led 68-54. The Hawks extended their lead to 90-65 in the third quarter. It was enough for Redick to pull star Luka Doncic, who finished the game with 22 points, 11 assists and five rebounds.<\/p>\n

Redick was asked if there was a moment in the third quarter where he knew at least the starting five wouldn\u2019t be able to have the impact he hoped for.<\/p>\n

\u201cI realized that in the first two minutes of the game,\u201d Redick said.<\/p>\n

The Hawks turned to their bench as they were down three of their starting five. In addition to All-Star Trae Young<\/a>, Atlanta was without Nickeil Alexander-Walker, Nikola Durisic, Jalen Johnson and Kristaps Porzingis.<\/p>\n

Zaccharie Risacher, Onyeka Okongwu, Keaton Wallace, Dyson Daniels<\/a> and Mouhamed Gueye started for the Hawks. <\/p>\n

Gueye scored a career-high 21 points. Daniels had a career-best 13 assists and added 10 points and eight rebounds. It was a breakout game for rookie Asa Newell, who recorded 17 points, five rebounds, four steals and a block.<\/p>\n

Redick said Atlanta \u201cbrought the requisite level of effort and urgency and physicality\u201d and alluded that his team did not.<\/p>\n

The Lakers head to Charlotte next for Monday night matchup against the Hornets. They face the Thunder, Pelicans and Bucks before heading back to Los Angeles.<\/p>\n

The Hawks face the Clippers in Los Angeles on Monday night.<\/p>\n
