The Atlanta Hawks emerged on the right side of a narrow victory after collecting a 122-120 win over the Washington Wizards at Capital One Arena on Wednesday night.
Trae Young scored 28 points and dished out 10 assists, while Dejounte Murray added 17 points as seven Hawks scored in double digits. For the Wizards, Kristaps Porzingis scored a career-high 43 points. Kyle Kuzma added 25 points.
It seemed likely based on the first quarter that this was going to be an offensive affair, and the Hawks threatened to establish an early double digit lead but behind the play of Porzingis the Wizards were able to hang around.
