ATLANTA (AP) — The Washington Wizards spoiled Quin Snyder’s Atlanta coaching debut, getting 37 points from Bradley Beal and 28 from Kyle Kuzma in a 119-116 victory over the Hawks. Beal hit a pull-up jumper with 35.3 seconds left that put the Wizards up 117-113 after they trailed nearly the entire second half. Trae Young responded with a 3-pointer that pulled the Hawks within one with 30.6 remaining. But Beal went to work again, driving for a basket that made it a three-point game. Young missed a couple of 3s that could’ve sent it to overtime. Young led the Hawks with 31 points.
