The Atlanta Hawks faced a disappointing repeat against the Washington Wizards, suffering a 133-120 defeat after leading at halftime. The second half saw the Hawks outscored by 21 points, continuing their struggles against a team ranked among the worst in the NBA.
Despite Trae Young's strong performance with 35 points and 15 assists, the Hawks faltered without key players. The Wizards capitalized on their momentum, with Bilal Coulibaly leading the charge, scoring 27 points. The Hawks need to regroup and hope for the return of injured players soon.
