As we have proven, the so-called NBA zigzag theory is a virtual wash. It is above .500 long-term but a slight loss with the juice. However, various bounce back angles, which take several other factors into consideration, do win long-term.

This one has to do with when they lost as a favorite previous game and with other factors involved that is 142-95.

We knew Washington would rally around the loss of John Wall and Atlanta would get a false sense of security. That false sense is certainly gone now. Atlanta has played their best once smacked in the mouth. That will continue.
