Four thoughts after the Wizards (1-1) fell back to earth with a 100-89 defeat to the Atlanta Hawks (2-0).
Gilbert Arenas had hardly any success attacking the basket against the Hawks’ more athletic big men. Although he led the Wizards with 23 points, he finished the first half with six of his seven turnovers in the game. He also had just four assists – almost the opposite of his complete control in the season opener Tuesday at Dallas. Brendan Haywood (19 points, 9 rebounds) and Andray Blatche (13 points, 6 rebounds) were -11 and -17, respectively.
