The Hawks created a bit of a hole to dig out of in the NBA Playoffs on Saturday, dropping game one to the Wizards.
Atlanta (0-1) dropped game one of the NBA Eastern Conference first round on the road at the Washington Wizards on Saturday 114-107.
In a game that was close at the half, a big third quarter for Washington was enough to get past Atlanta and take a 1-0 lead in the first round of the NBA Playoffs.
Dennis Schroder led all Hawks with a 25-point effort, followed by 19 points from Paul Millsap. Dwight Howard only had seven points, but brought down 14 rebounds on the night. See the full box score HERE.
