Atlanta Hawks Explode to Rout Wizards 152-133
Recapping the Atlanta Hawks’ Sunday afternoon meeting with the Washington Wizards.
The Atlanta Hawks took on the Washington Wizards on Sunday, defeating them by a score of 152-133.
The game started in unusual fashion, with the two teams swapping violations to start the game. This was to honor the tragic passing of NBA legend Kobe Bryant, who was involved in a fatal helicopter crash earlier in the day. The Hawks won the tip, took an 8-second back court violation before the Wizards responded with the 24-second shot clock violation. Bryant wore numbers 8 and 24 during his career.
Trae Young honored one of those numbers by starting the game wearing a number 8 on his back.
