Onyeka Okongwu also made his presence felt defensively for Atlanta by contributing one block alongside six points and five rebounds. These individual efforts were crucial components of Atlanta’s overall strategy that led them to dominate significant portions of this matchup.

Washington Wizards’ Effort

Despite falling short in this contest, The Washington Wizards had their moments thanks largely to their efforts in scoring within paint where they tallied up a total of 60 points compared to The Hawks' own paint score which stood at forty-six points. Their bench also contributed thirty points but it wasn't enough against The Hawk's more balanced attack which saw their bench putting up thirty-nine points.

The game saw eleven lead changes indicating how competitive it was despite what final scores might suggest; however, it was ultimately The Hawk's ability to capitalize off turnovers—scoring twenty-eight points off eighteen Wizard turnovers—that helped cement their lead and secure victory.
