After Action Report
In Atlanta, the Hawks blew the doors off the Wizards 131-80. Hawks' scorers couldn't be contained. Hawks' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Wizards' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The Wizards looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Hawks' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- Hawks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Wizards · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Wizards · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Wizards · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
