The Wizards defeated the Hawks 113-94 on Saturday night and improved their record to 7-5 for the season. Bradley Beal led the Wizards’ scorers with 19 points while Markieff Morris and Kelly Oubre added 18 each.
Washington broke this game open after the bench unit went on a 12-0 run to start the fourth quarter. In a season where the Wizards’ bench has perpetually underachieved, they more than came through as they forced Atlanta to commit three consecutive turnovers and extend a nine point lead to 25 at one point.
