After an exhilarating road win over the Chicago Bulls on Wednesday night, the Atlanta Hawks returned to Phillips Arena on Friday. Welcoming them home was a difficult opponent in the 25-20 Washington Wizards.
After starting the season poorly the Wizards have turned things around in a huge away. They’ve gone 18-7 since Dec. 6, going from the bottom of the Eastern Conference to the 5th seed. All of the sudden, Washington is a serious contender to unseat Atlanta at the top of the Southeast Division.
The Wizards got off to a great start in this contest.
