The Atlanta Hawks faced off with the Washington Wizards Friday night, looking to win their 20th game on the season.
We did not the get the advertised match up between two of the league’s premier scorers, Trae Young and Bradley Beal, with Trae Young out with flu-like systems. It was still a meeting between two of the league’s worst team defenses, which showed throughout the game.
After leading for most of the first quarter, the Hawks were not very good at all in the second. They were out-scored 31-23 in the period, with the Wizards finishing the first half on a 13-2 run.
