That's more like it, Wizards.
A blowout 114-97 win over a reeling Hawks team was just what the doctor ordered for a Washington squad that had itself dropped three straight and five of its last six. John Wall, Bradley Beal, Trevor Ariza, Marcin Gortat, Trevor Booker and Martell Webster all had solid games...but no one cares, because a) this is Trade Deadline Day, and b) ARIZA MADE A (REALLY) LONG THREE, Y'ALL!!
