In what was an emotional day across the NBA, the Hawks defeated the Wizards 152-133 in Atlanta on Sunday night.
Players, coaches, and people around the world mourned the loss of NBA legend Kobe Bryant and his daughter Gianna, as well as seven others in a helicopter crash in Calabasas, CA.
The Hawks and NBA arenas around the league honored Bryant with a moment of silence before Sunday’s game. In honor of Bryant’s numbers eight and 24 with the Los Angeles Lakers, the Hawks took an eight-second backcourt violation. On the next possession, the Wizards held the ball for 24 seconds for a shot-clock violation.
