Walker Kessler Credits Lakers’ Resiliency For Win Over Hawks

Walker Kessler credited the Los Angeles Lakers' growing resiliency for their road victory over the Atlanta Hawks on Monday night, which extended the team's winning streak to a season-best six games. After surrendering much of a 20-point second-quarter lead to an Atlanta comeback attempt, the Lakers held on late in the fourth quarter. Kessler highlighted how head coach JJ Redick emphasizes handling adversity to build championship composure.

Playing in his home state of Georgia, Kessler contributed 21 points and 10 rebounds alongside Luka Doncic's 32-point performance. The Lakers secured the win without injured contributors Austin Reaves and Quentin Grimes, leaning heavily on 49 bench points sparked by Sandro Mamukelashvili and Collin Sexton to maintain the NBA's best record.
