The Atlanta Hawks dropped by Chinatown on Wednesday night for a late-season Eastern Conference tussle. Stakes were relatively high for both teams in regards to playoff seeding, plus both teams were in the middle of a losing skid (Wizards L2; Hawks L4). Not to mention it was a national TV night! And Adam Schefter making an NBA cameo! And 8PM tipoffs are too late!
Check out some sights and sounds from #WizHawks at the Verizon Center last night:

The Spectacle
Washington Wizards vs. Atlanta Hawks
Washington Valor promos! Ted Leonsis' latest sports endeavor, the Arena Football League Washington Valor, kicks off its inaugural game on April 7th. A solid alternative for whoever can't afford Wizards play off tickets.
A little pregame 2-on-2 scrimmage between the reserves.
Daniel Ochefu and Trey Burke vs. Sheldon Mac and Jason (player development coordinator). Who got next?
Important: Brandon Jennings lefty free throws.
Find you a backup point guard that can shoot lefty free throws like Brandon Jennings.
Kelly Oubre Jr. is a good dude.
The Beardless Bogie. The baby face assassin, a clean shaved Bojan Bogdanovic.
John Wall rarely ever misses an autograph sesh with the fans. He's that cool.
Best in the biz and Christy Winters Scott only makes it better.
Is Marc a low-key Globetrotter?
Things weren't going very swell early on.
Gimme 5 Jason Smiths.
Brandon Jennings crossover and pick and pop with Jason Smith. Here for it.
Pesty Kelly.
2nd half John Wall > 1st half John Wall.
Wizards fans earned themselves some free Chick-Fil-A and an OUBR3 in just a few seconds into the 4th quarter.
The pass. The dunk. The everything. #Shhhh.
