The Washington Wizards continued their free fall against the Atlanta Hawks on Saturday night in Capital One Arena. The Hawks ran away from the Wizards in the second half and ended up winning 136-108. Washington has now lost nine straight games and is 2-14 on the season.
From even before the tip, the Wizards were clearly still reeling from the previous night’s tilt against Milwaukee. Jordan Poole was ruled out just before the game started with an ankle injury. Corey Kispert stepped into the starting lineup for Poole. But Kispert and the rest of the team looked gassed early on as they airballed at least three shots in the first five minutes of the game.
