WASHINGTON — De'Andre Hunter's three-point play with 1:07 remaining put Atlanta ahead to stay, and the Hawks held off the Washington Wizards 122-120 despite a career-high 43 points by Kristaps Porzingis. The teams will finish the two-game set in Washington on Friday night. After Hunter put the Hawks up 117-114, Bradley Beal made just one of two free throws with 52.7 seconds left for Washington. Beal then stole the ball from Trae Young but couldn't convert on the break, and Hunter's two free throws pushed the lead to four. Then Beal was called for traveling, one of several mistakes he made in the fourth quarter as the focus of the offense shifted toward him and away from Porzingis.
