After Action Report

The Wizards outlasted the Hawks 117-106. Wizards' scorers couldn't be contained. The Hawks answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Hawks' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. Whispers of a Hawks locker-room rift aren't helping. Early returns: the Wizards per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.

What tipped it

  • Hawks · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
  • Hawks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
