In addition, they shot just 14/25 from the free-throw line (56.0%).

The Lakers are 24-25 in 49 games, which has them as the ninth seed in the Western Conference.
They are 4.0 games behind the Phoenix Suns for the sixth seed.
Following Atlanta, the Lakers will visit Jaylen Brown and the Boston Celtics on Thursday evening.
