Wizards at Hawks final score: Washington blown out 126-96

The Washington Wizards lost to the Atlanta Hawks on Thursday, 126-96.

The first half of this game was tough to watch. Washington allowed Atlanta to head into halftime with a 76-56 lead. I get that the Wizards aren’t going to be very good this season. But that margin and the total number of points the Hawks scored is embarrassing.

Now, there’s something else I wanted to point out today. The Hawks wore their black and gold City Edition uniforms which were coincidentally the same colors as the Wizards’ black and gold City Edition uniforms. Unless you are someone who digs deep into each team’s alternate uniforms, some viewers may have very well had a tougher time figuring out who the Wizards and Hawks were.

Anyway, Washington was able to keep things relatively even in the third quarter, but the Hawks went back on another rampage in the fourth.

Corey Kispert, now with the Hawks, scored 33 points to show some revenge on his old team. He also made 6-of-11 of his three point shots. For the Wizards, Will Riley, Jaden Hardy and Justin Champagnie all scored 14 each to co-lead the team.

The Wizards now head back home to face off against the Toronto Raptors for their next game on Saturday. Tip off is at 7 p.m. ET. See you then.
