After squeezing out a win last night against the New Orleans Pelicans, the Hawks couldn’t keep it going against the Washington Wizards, losing 122-111.
Both teams were coming off the first game of a back-to-back, and both secured victories against their opponents.
Unlike yesterday’s first quarter, the Hawks got off to fast start on offense as Clint Capela led the charge with six early points. John Collins continued his dunk tour with an out of bounds pass from Trae Young, which was one of just eight of Young’s first quarter assists.
The Hawks weren't the only team scorching in the quarter, as the Wizards joined in on the fun and stayed toe-to-toe with the Hawks in the quarter with a collective group effort, and led 33-32 at the end of the first.
