Hawks Defeat Wizards 125-111 in Atlanta

In their recent matchup on February 8, 2025, the Atlanta Hawks defeated the Washington Wizards 125-111, showcasing a strong performance from Trae Young, who scored 35 points and provided 14 assists. The Hawks excelled in three-point shooting, hitting 40.9% of their attempts, while the Wizards struggled significantly at 25% from beyond the arc. Despite a late rally that saw the Wizards cut a 23-point deficit to seven, their inability to convert from three-point range proved costly. Rookie Bub Carrington stood out for the Wizards, scoring a career-high 23 points, but overall the team's shooting woes continued, especially in the absence of injured players Kyshawn George and Alex Sarr. Coach Brian Keefe offered a positive update on Saddiq Bey's rehabilitation from a torn ACL, although no specific timeline for his return was provided. This loss marked a setback for the Wizards, who had previously shown improvement in their three-point shooting over the last four games.
