If you were told that Washington’s four most impressive wins this season would be without Bradley Beal, well you’d be as shocked as anyone. But it’s the truth. After beating the Miami Heat and Denver Nuggets last week, the Wizards have topped the Boston Celtics and Atlanta Hawks this week.
Washington entered their matchup with the Hawks with a slight boost in firepower from their recently injured lineups. Davis Bertans made his long-awaited return to the court after missing nine games with a quad injury.
And Atlanta, smoked from their most recent matchup with the Houston Rockets, looked just that.
