The Washington Wizards lost to the Atlanta Hawks on Tuesday, 119-98.

Again, like most games this season, the Wizards were the underdogs and it showed right away. Though neither team shot well in the first half, the Hawks were leading 60-43 thanks to better ball control and team assists. By the time the third quarter ended, Jonathan Kuminga scored 18 of his 27 points in the third quarter for the Hawks, which ended any hopes of Washington making this game competitive. The fourth quarter was garbage time.

I’m not happy watching another blowout, especially when the Wizards — even if Trae Young didn’t play tonight — just came out flat minus the fourth quarter. Will Riley scored 18 points to lead Washington.

The Wizards still play the Hawks on Thursday. Tip off is at 7:30 p.m. ET. See you then.
