The Washington Wizards defeated the Atlanta Hawks 132–113 on November 25 at Capital One Arena, combining elite shooting with suffocating defense to cruise past their division rivals. C. McCollum led the way with 46 points, while A. Sarr added 27 as Washington shot 57.1% from the field and made 19 three-pointers to stay well ahead of the Vegas total of 240.5. The Wizards' defensive rating of 106.6 proved decisive; they forced 18 turnovers and held Atlanta to 45.3% shooting despite the Hawks' 44 rebounds and 33 assists. Washington's first-quarter explosion—45 points—set an early tone the visitors never recovered from, and the Wizards' third-quarter output of 34 points extended their lead decisively. K. Porziņģis (22 points) and O. Okongwu (20 points) led Atlanta's effort, but the Hawks' 13 three-pointers and 4 steals proved insufficient against Washington's offensive firepower and defensive intensity. The victory solidifies the Wizards' standing atop the Southeast Division.
