After Action Report
The Hawks stunned the Wizards 116-110. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Hawks cashed in. The Hawks owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Hawks answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. Early returns: the Hawks per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. On paper this one shouldn't have been close — basketball had other ideas.
