After Action Report
The Hawks fended off the Wizards 107-101. Execution down the stretch made the difference. The Hawks carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; the Wizards owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The Wizards looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
