WASHINGTON — With under seven minutes left against the Washington Wizards, Kevin Huerter dribbled outside the top of the arc before bursting to his right.
After quickly being met by two defenders, the second-year pro fired a lob in the paint to Dewayne Dedmon, who threw down a two-handed dunk with ease to shorten the Atlanta Hawks’ deficit to 12 points.
The assist was one of 11 for the former Terp in the Hawks’ 118-112 loss to the Wizards, setting a new career-high in his return to the DMV. He also finished with 14 points, marking the third double-double of his career.
