The Atlanta Hawks take on the Washington Wizards in the second game of a baseball series. They won the first game by a single point. This was a historic night for the NBA as Russell Westbrook broke Oscar Robertson’s 50-year-old triple-double record.
Fortunately for the Hawks, it was not enough to break their home winning streak which sits at nine games, a streak that dates back to the 9th of April. This has been the backbone of their run towards a home seed. They need to keep this up for the remaining three home games.
