The Atlanta Hawks defeated the Washington Wizards, 130-126, at Capital One Arena on New Year’s Eve on Sunday.

The Wizards (6-26) took an early 17-4 advantage to start the game before the Hawks (13-19) went on a run of their own to cut the deficit to two after the first quarter. The teams traded buckets to start the second frame before Atlanta took control and entered halftime with a 12-point lead. Washington were able to bring the deficit down to two in the third quarter, but the Hawks closed the third frame with a 17-6 run to maintain their double-digit lead. The Wizards attempted to mount a comeback in the fourth, but the margin was too large as they dropped their 11th game at home while the Hawks moved to 9-10 on the road. The Hawks dominated the Wizards in free throw attempts (37 vs. 21) and rebounds (58 vs. 42).
