The Wizards kicked off their two-game road trip with a 118-110 loss to the Atlanta Hawks at State Farm Arena.
It marked the second meeting of the year between the teams, with the Wizards winning in Atlanta back on Dec. 5.
It was tough sledding early on for the Wizards, as they fell down 12-0 before a Jeff Green 3-pointer put them on the board. The slow start did the Wizards no favors, as they ended the first quarter down 35-24.
In the second quarter, the Wizards battled back and managed to trim the lead. A dunk by Jeff Green right before the end of the quarter helped the Wizards enter halftime down 58-54.
