After Action Report
The Hawks handled the Wizards 105-95. Hawks' scorers couldn't be contained. Fresh off a statement win, the Hawks stayed locked in; Hawks' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Hawks bench chemistry carried them. Hawks' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
