The Atlanta Hawks are down 0-2 in their playoff series against the Washington Wizards. Things are looking bleak for the Hawks. Aren’t things always bleak for Atlanta sports?
The Hawks let a winnable game slip away in the fourth quarter, due to suspect perimeter defense and long stretches where their offense couldn’t buy a basket.
One disappointing stretch came early in the fourth quarter. The Hawks held a four-point lead entering the fourth quarter and looked prepared to take control of the game against a Washington lineup comprised mostly of bench players.
Atlanta is supposed to have a depth advantage in this series.
