The Atlanta Hawks returned to the winning column as they exacted some revenge on the Washington Wizards on Monday night, taking the 118-111 victory at State Farm Arena.
Trae Young led the Hawks with 26 points on an efficient 7-of-16 from the field and a season-high 11-of-11 from the free throw line. Bogdan Bogdanovic and Clint Capela both added 16 points (Capela adding 12 rebounds for a double-double). For the Wizards, Bradley Beal scored 24 points and Kyle Kuzma added 18 points.
Coming off of two bad showings on Thursday and Saturday, the Hawks entered Monday’s night contest needing a much improved performance, having fallen to 3-3 on the back of those two losses against the Wizards and the Philadelphia 76ers.
