The Washington Wizards faced a significant challenge on Wednesday night against the Atlanta Hawks. The game ended their two-game winning streak with a 120-105 defeat. The primary issue for the Wizards was their defense against three-point shooting.
By halftime, concerns about this weakness were evident. Atlanta’s prowess in three-point shooting played a critical role in their victory. The Hawks entered the game averaging the sixth-most three-pointers per game in the league. In stark contrast, the Wizards ranked at the bottom in this category.
One notable performance came from former Wizard CJ McCollum. Coming off the bench, McCollum scored 15 points. His three-point shooting added to the woes of the Wizards’ defense. The outcome highlighted the Wizards’ need for improvement in guarding against long-range shots.
