POSTCAST: Atlanta Hawks Fail To Yield Lebron James, Los Angeles Lakers, 136-105

Injury-plagued on the rear end of a back to back with injuries versus inarguably the best basketball player of this generation, LeBron James, the task was a bit to tall on the road versus the Los Angeles Lakers for the visiting Atlanta Hawks whom had just literally poured in all their efforts (and then some) a night prior versus a talent-heavy Los Angeles Clippers club. 

To add fuel to the fire after just recently returning to action, Forward Jalen Johnson endures yet another injury while this is also the first game back for reserve and key contributor, Onyeka Okongwu.

Before returning back home to Atlanta has one more game remaining when the Phoenix Suns host in the desert.

With the game nowhere near striking distance, should Head Coach Quin Snyder have benched an already less than 100% bill of health JJ  for the remainder of the game to prevent taking risks with such injuries?

Also prior to the injury Jalen Johnson had what will likely be a nominee for play of the year with a dunk on Austin Reaves... where do you rank it amongst the best this season?
