Atlanta can’t turn the ball over as much as it did in Game 1 and expect to steal a game on the road. The Hawks have the talent, but Washington stepped up the defensive effort to force the turnovers. John Wall really took over the game and when he’s playing at this level, there aren’t many better. Wall should be able to stay strong at home tonight and lead the Wizards to another comfortable win in Game 2.
