Atlanta Hawks win at Washington Wizards to level series

Hawks level Wizards series

The best-of-seven NBA Eastern Conference semi-final between the Atlanta Hawks and Washington Wizards is all square at two games apiece following a 106-101 away win for the Hawks last night.

Three of Atlanta's All-Stars showed up to help them to victory, with Jeff Teague scoring 26 points, Paul Millsap contributing 19 points, five rebounds and six assists, and Al Horford adding 18 points and 10 rebounds.

Without All-Star point-guard John Wall, Bradley Beal stepped up for the Wizards with 34 points, six rebounds and seven assists, but it wasn't enough for the win.

The hosts were close to tying the game in the closing stages, but Paul Pierce, who made a buzzer-beating winner in game three, saw his three-point attempt bounce out off the rim.

East top seed Atlanta now have two of the last three games in the series at home, starting with game five on Wednesday night.
