The Atlanta Hawks fell by a final margin of 114 to 98, but the game was tied up with just under 7 minutes to go. Cue a puzzling collapse.
The Wizards outscored Atlanta by a whopping 20-4 margin to end the game, and Trae Young was pulled with 5 minutes to go in the 4th quarter.
Fellow rookie Kevin Huerter, on the other hand, was dead on his feet as he poured in a career-high 44 minutes in this one. Though the rotations were a bit disjointed due to a flurry of early fouls called on the Atlanta Hawks in the first quarter, Young only playing 27 minute versus Huerter only sitting for 4 seems like an oversight.
