The Atlanta Hawks (7 - 5) defeated the Washington Wizards (9 - 4) 106 - 102 on Tuesday at the Verizon Center in Washington. No matter the record, games will always be close between teams of the same division. In this battle between Southeast Division foes, the Hawks stole a victory on the road in Washington. Atlanta was able to force Washington into 25 turnovers compared to only 15 of their own, which may have been the difference in this one.

He was able to get to the line a season - high 14 times, and converted on 12 of those attempts. It was also his second game in a row with 28 points, as he continues to score in bunches.
