The Atlanta Hawks defeated the Washington Wizards 119-98, extending their winning streak to two games, as Jonathan Kuminga scored a season-high 27 points in his debut after being acquired from Golden State. The Hawks led wire-to-wire, with strong performances from Nickeil Alexander-Walker, Corey Kispert, and Onyeka Okongwu. All-Star Jalen Johnson exited early in the first quarter with a left hip flexor strain and did not return, pending re-evaluation. Trae Young, honored with a highlight video, sat out due to a right knee MCL strain. The Hawks now lead the season series 2-1, with the final meeting set for Thursday in Atlanta.
