After Action Report

In Atlanta, the Wizards ran roughshod over the Hawks 125-94. Wizards torched the Hawks on the offensive end. Fresh off a statement win, the Wizards stayed locked in; Hawks' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. The Wizards bench chemistry carried them. Garbage time started early.

What tipped it

  • Hawks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Hawks · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Hawks · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
  • Hawks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • Wizards · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
  • Wizards · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
