The Atlanta Hawks again started strong in Tuesday's Game 2 against the Washington Wizards, but this time around they had enough left in the tank to finish strong as well. Atlanta outscored the Wizards 26-15 over the final 12 minutes of the game in 106-90 win to pull even in the series at one game apiece.
Despite the margin of victory, Game 2 was anything but a blowout. There were but two lead changes in the game but Washington hung within striking distance for the duration and came all the way back to tie the game in the third quarter.
