The Atlanta Hawks won back-to-back games for the second time this season as they defeated the Washington Wizards on Friday night, 129-117. The Hawks are now 6-7 overall and in fifth place in the Eastern Conference with the win. They are also 2-0 and in first place in the NBA Cup Group C standings.
Head coach Quin Snyder was very pleased with the team defense.
“We didn’t start the game great. I think they were very confident against us. They got some good players that make plays, and they were coming at us. And I thought we really responded well to that, and you know throughout the majority of the game, we really played well, and we really played defense like that was the biggest thing,” said Snyder.
