The Wizards were looking for their first win of the year. They thought they had it too, as Martell Webster scored on a put back as time expired and they celebrated wildly. When referee's looked at the replay though, they saw the ball was released after the shot clock lights went on. With the loss, the Wizards become the 13th team in NBA history to start a season 0-10 and the first since the 2009 New Jersey Nets. Kevin Seraphin had 21 points to lead the Wizards, A.J. Price added fourteen, Nene and Trevor Ariza had twelve and Webster had ten. Ariza had fifteen rebounds and Seraphin pulled down ten to give each a double-double.
The Hawks had trouble with the Wizards all game and only led 50-47 at the half. They let the Wizards take a lead, and the Hawks had to fight for overtime and then had to fight just to stay close enough for Korver to hit the winning three. Josh Smith led the team with 25 points and twelve rebounds for a double-double. Al Horford was a rebound shy of a triple-double, he had fifteen points, ten assists and nine rebounds. Korver finished the night with sixteen points, including five 3-pointers, Jeff Teague had fourteen and Devin Harris had thirteen, he hit three 3-pointers.
The Hawks move to 6-4 on the year. They will travel to play the Charlotte Bobcats on Friday at 7 p.m. The Bobcats have won their last two games and they are 6-4 on the season.
Kyle Korver hits a three point shot to propel the Hawks to an overtime victory over the Washington Wizards on Wednesday night.
