HALF: Hawks 70, Wizards 58
The Hawks put up 42 points in the 2Q and held the Wizards to 28 points after they scored just 28 in 1Q.
Young 18p/9a
Johnson 18p/8r – 4:06 PM

Ava Wallace @avarwallace
Not a good second quarter for the Wizards, who trail the Hawks 70-58 at halftime. Atlanta’s outrebounding the Wiz 32-18. They’ve got 13 second chance points.
Kuzma’s the only Wiz scorer in double figures, he’s got 20. – 4:05 PM

Chase Hughes @ChaseHughesNBCS
Jalen Johnson, who just had 18 pts & 8 reb vs. the Wizards in the 1st half, is turning into a draft success story for now-Wizards SVP Travis Schlenk. Johnson was one of Schlenk’s most recent draft picks during his time running the Hawks and a great find at 20th overall. – 4:04 PM

Lauren L. Williams @WilliamsLaurenL
Jalen Johnson is giving y’all a little of everything this afternoon. He’s got 18 points after burying his 1st 3 of the game. Also, he’s got 8 rebs too. – 4:00 PM

Lauren L. Williams @WilliamsLaurenL
The Hawks have done such a good job of taking away the 3-pt line since the Wizards opened the after 3-5 from 3 with 8:10 left in 1Q.
Since then, the Wizards have made 3-of-17 from deep… Just under 4:00 to play in 2Q. – 3:57 PM

Lauren L. Williams @WilliamsLaurenL
I have NO idea how Jalen Johnson just finished that dunk. He was about a mile away from the rim but still YAMMED it w/ 1 hand – 3:48 PM

2nd straight game Deni Avdija has ended a quarter with a buzzer-beater. This one, though, was on a completely different level of difficulty 😯 pic.twitter.com/8GGdbVgzIA – 3:43 PM

1Q: Wizards 30, Hawks 28
Deni Avdija sank a 3 at the buzzer that staved off the Hawks 22-8 run toward the end of 1Q.
But the Hawks have some good rhythm going now on offense. After opening the game 2-10 from the floor, the Hawks went 9-16 overall in the last over the last 8 mins – 3:38 PM

Ava Wallace @avarwallace
Avdija heave at the buzzer again! More fun than Friday’s. Wiz lead the Hawks 30-28 after one. – 3:37 PM

Lauren L. Williams @WilliamsLaurenL
The Hawks have capitalized on the Wizards going a litle cold . Garrison Mathews made the extra pass to Trae Young in the corner, Bogdan Bogdanovic hit a finger roll layup off a strip, Mathews just sent a Kispert shot to McLean, VA and the game was w/in 1 – 3:35 PM

Adam Wexler @AdamJWexler
Davis Mills coming in to close this one out with handoffs. Stroud finishes 24-32, 213 yds, TD, 102.7 passer rating. #Texans up 26-3, 3:51 left. – 3:30 PM

Lauren L. Williams @WilliamsLaurenL
Bruno Fernando has checked in – 3:30 PM

Lauren L. Williams @WilliamsLaurenL
As soon as I hit send, Kuzma buries a corner 3 in front of the Wizards’ bench. He’s gone 4-7 from 3 and has 15 points. – 3:30 PM

Lauren L. Williams @WilliamsLaurenL
3:21, 1Q — The Wizard have called timeout and the Hawks are sort of getting some offense going but a lot of their shots continue to be short.
They’re 6-20 overall… – 3:27 PM

Lauren L. Williams @WilliamsLaurenL
Out of the timeout the Hawks had… the right idea. They kept moving the ball but Gafford rejected Clint Capela’s attempt at a dunk and then they made a cutting dunk.
Then Jalen Johnson wanted to postersize Gafford and draws a foul. – 3:21 PM

Lauren L. Williams @WilliamsLaurenL
8:10, 1Q — The Hawks call timeout after a Kyle Kuzma drains a 3 to continue the Wizards’ 15-4 run. – 3:17 PM

Evan Sidery @esidery
The Hawks, Pacers and Mavericks are viewed as the most likely teams to pursue Pascal Siakam, per @michaelgrange (sportsnet.ca/nba/article/wi…).
Atlanta and Indiana have maintained interest in Siakam since the summer. pic.twitter.com/BMJqQ08py2 – 2:59 PM
