Atlanta Hawks vs. Washington Wizards game thread

The Atlanta Hawks will take on the Washington Wizards on Friday evening to kick off the team's first back-to-back of the season. Prior to returning home to face the Houston Rockets on Saturday, Mike Budenholzer's team will have its hands full with a desperate (and winless) Wizards team led by John Wall, and this should be a fun and entertaining battle between division opponents.

Stay tuned throughout the evening for all the latest and, as always, let's keep things civil and polite in the comments.
