In the video player above: all of Danny Avdia’s moves from the night
What a great night for Danny Avdia! And how close he was to a tremendous first triple-double in his career. But it was only almost.

Of all his points, Avdia scored one three-pointer (from 2 shots), 7 of 12 from the field (6 of 10 from 2), 4 of 5 from the line and all this in 37 minutes on the floor – the most among all players Both teams tonight. He also added a steal, a block and three turnovers.
This victory was the Wizards’ seventh of the season, and the first against the Hawks after three losses against them in the three meetings that have already taken place this season between the two teams. This victory broke a streak of six losses for the team from the US capital. Kyle Kuzma stood out with 29 points, Jordan Paul added 20 in a slightly better game for him compared to the last period. Trae Young scored 21 points and added 10 assists on the losing side, and he recorded 2 From 10 outside the arc.
