The Wizards controlled the game for most of the evening, but the lead changed hands several times during the last two minutes.
After Tre Jones put Chicago up by a point, Washington had one more opportunity to win the game, but Kyshawn George's errant pass helped the Bulls escape with a one-point victory.
Corey Kispert was one of four players in double figures. He scored a team-high 20 points, along with five rebounds and five assists. CJ McCollum finished with 17 points, three assists, and connected on three of his five attempts from beyond the arc.
The Hawks have won seven of their last nine games and enter this matchup riding a two-game winning streak. Their latest triumph includes a 113-110 victory over the Charlotte Hornets on Sunday.
In this back-and-forth battle, the game came down to the last couple of possessions. Nickeil Alexander-Walker split a pair of free throws, giving Atlanta a three-point cushion.
Charlotte had a chance to send the game into overtime, but Miles Bridges' three-point attempt was off the mark as the game clock expired. Atlanta had four players who scored at least 20 points.
Jalen Johnson paced the offense with 28 points, 11 assists, and eight rebounds. Alexander-Walker contributed 23 points, five rebounds, and four assists.
Here's a look at what you need to know for both teams ahead of this contest.
Not only has Washington lost 14 straight, but it has also dropped six of its previous seven home games against Atlanta. Given the trends, the edge goes to the Hawks.
