Another NBA playoff series just got good. That’s the only takeaway from Game 3 of Washington Wizards vs. Atlanta Hawks that makes sense, with the Hawks answering back with a 116-98 win over the Wizards to narrow their deficit two games to one.

The series is heating up.

Washington won the first two games rather handily, but the Hawks hopped out against the Wizards early on and didn’t look back. Paul Millsap scored 29 points with 14 rebounds and five assists, and Dennis Schroder added 27 of his own.
The two teams started sniping at each other off the court, too, which makes this even better. Here’s Millsap reacting to being told that Markieff Morris called him a crybaby, which is great. Getting a bit of mostly friendly banter going between two sides always adds intrigue to a series like this.
