This is an 8* play on the Atlanta Hawks.

The Hawks are in a desperate situation in Game 4 of this series against Washington, needing to win on the road to avoid going back to Atlanta down 3-1. Their late rally came up short in Game 3, as Paul Pierce turned back the clock once again with a dagger at the buzzer. (The Truth Don't Lie). "We feel like it's only us in the locker room who is going to give us a chance (without Wall)," Pierce said. "We feel like we should have won Game 2, truthfully. But even with John out, we still feel like we have enough in that room to win a game, to win this series. It's not going to deter us from our goals." The Wizards have been quite competitive even with Wall sidelined by injury and Beal playing hurt, but I don't think they can count on the Hawks missing their shorts as they did in Games 1 & 3. Atlanta's starters shot just 37.5% from the floor in Game 3, and I expect to see them bounce back with a better effort, just as they did in Game 2 at Atlanta.

Take ATL.
