The Atlanta Hawks (3 - 2) defeated the Washington Wizards (2 - 3) 82 - 81 on Wednesday at Philips Arena in Atlanta. After going back and forth all game long, the fourth quarter continued that trend. It started off with an 80 run by the Wizards, which was then followed up by a 140 run by the Hawks to put them up five with two and a half minutes left in the game. With just over 14 seconds left in regulation, Paul Pierce turned the ball over and DeMarre Carroll was able to get a fast break layup. Pierce then made up for the turnover though and hit a three - pointer from the corner to put the Wizards up one with just eight seconds left. The hero was Al Horford though. Horford was able to grab an offensive rebound with just over a second left and drop it back in for the game - winning bucket, giving the Hawks a 3 - 2 lead in the series. The Hawks shot 41 percent from the field and just 23 percent from the three - point line, while they also committed 25 turnovers, but were still able to come out with the victory. A large amount of that credit goes to center Al Horford. Along with his game - winning bucket, Horford finished with 23 points (10 - 18 FG, 1 - 1 3Pt, 2 - 2 FT), 11 rebounds and five blocked shots over 37 minutes. After struggling in their first round matchup with the Brooklyn Nets, Horford has really made his presence felt here in the semifinals, as he's averaged 18 points, 10 rebounds and 2 blocks so far this series. That five - game stretch includes four double - doubles. Millsap received some help from both Paul Millsap and Jeff Teague though. Millsap posted 14 points (6 - 14 FG, 0 - 3 3Pt, 2 - 3 FT), seven rebounds and a blocked shot, while Teague recorded 14 points (6 - 13 FG, 2 - 3 3Pt) and five assists. The two did combine to record a whopping 13 of the team's 25 total turnovers though, so they'll have to clean that up before game six. Kyle Korver shot just 1 - of - 5 from the three - point line to score only three points, but he did notch six steals, marking a new playoff - high. Despite having five non - displaced fractures in his left wrist and hand, John Wall made his return to the lineup and finished with 15 points (7 - 15 FG, 0 - 2 3Pt, 1 - 2 FT), seven assists and four steals. He also had six turnovers though, so it was n't all good for the guard. Wall did n't seem to show any apprehension with his hand injury, often diving for loose balls and looking to grab a rebound in traffic, so that was good news for the Wizards even though they eventually came out with the loss. Fellow backcourt member Bradley Beal also did as much as he could to lead this team to a win. He went 9 - for - 21 from the field but just 1 - for - 5 from the three - point line to score a team - high of 23 points, while also adding seven rebounds and four assists. Beal has hit at least two three - pointers in seven out of eight games this postseason, but he could n't get into a rhythm Wednesday. So far this series, Beal is averaging 24 points over five games. Marcin Gortat chipped in with 14 points (7 - 10 FG, 0 - 1 3Pt) and eight rebounds as well. Game six will be played on Friday in Washington.
