After Action Report

The Hawks survived the Wizards 99-97. The Wizards couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Hawks. Hawks' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Hawks carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one. The Hawks bench chemistry carried them. Style points be damned.

What tipped it

  • 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.
  • Hawks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Hawks · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
  • Hawks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
