After Action Report
In Atlanta, the Wizards rolled past the Hawks 118-78. The Hawks had no answer for the variance gods tonight. The Wizards came in with something to prove after a loss; Wizards' defenders refused to give up clean looks. Whispers of a Hawks locker-room rift aren't helping. Tonight's Hawks utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Never a doubt in this one.
