After Action Report
In Atlanta, the Wizards fended off the Hawks 109-103. The Wizards won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Wizards' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; second-chance points piled up for the Wizards. The Wizards bench chemistry carried them. The Hawks rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Style points be damned.
