After Action Report
In Washington, the Wizards buried the Hawks 128-91. Wizards' offense had its way with the Hawks. Wizards' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Wizards carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one. The Wizards locker room is humming, and it showed. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
