The Atlanta Hawks picked up a much-needed Game 3 victory on Saturday afternoon. They controlled the game from the opening tip and essentially dominated the Washington Wizards. It was a surprise to anyone that had watched the first two games of this series.
I think most pundits, and even Hawks fans, were beginning to think Atlanta might get swept. That’s not going to happen.
The Hawks have absorbed Washington’s opening punches and are finally starting to punch back. This is a real fight now, not the one-sided affair it appeared to be initially.
The hate is building between the Hawks and Wizards.
