Luka Doncic missed one game. The Los Angeles Lakers did not miss a beat.

Back in the lineup after sitting out Sunday with lower back tightness, Doncic had 32 points, eight rebounds and 10 assists as the Lakers beat the Atlanta Hawks 124-114 on Monday night. Los Angeles has now won six in a row and sits at 10-2.

The Lakers did it without Austin Reaves, who was out with an illness one night after scoring a season-high 43 points in a win at Detroit. Quentin Grimes also sat with a sprained finger on his right hand.

A deep supporting cast

Walker Kessler had 21 points and 10 rebounds. Sandro Mamukelashvili scored 23 points and made 5 of 8 from 3-point range. Collin Sexton added 18 points and six assists off the bench. As a team the Lakers made 15 of 35 from deep.

Doncic set up teammates for eight assists in the first half alone. Kessler finished three alley-oop dunks off drives by Sexton as Los Angeles built a 20-point lead in the second quarter. Atlanta cut it to nine by halftime.

Doncic shot 11 of 22 from the field and made all seven of his free throws. He had scored at least 40 points in four straight games before his night off and still leads the NBA at 40.1 points per game.

Hawks make a late push

CJ McCollum led Atlanta with 21 points off the bench. Nickeil Alexander-Walker scored 20 and Onyeka Okongwu had 16. Dyson Daniels spent much of the night guarding Doncic and finished with 10 points, eight assists and four steals.

A basket by Daniels pulled the Hawks within 115-111 with 3:30 to play. The Lakers answered with a 6-0 run that included a driving layup and an assist from Doncic. Atlanta's four-game winning streak came to an end.

Rookie Cameron Carr, the Lakers' first-round pick, got early minutes with two guards out and scored his first NBA points on a two-handed dunk in transition. The Lakers visit Milwaukee on Wednesday.
