WIZARDS 81 HAWKS 82 F...The HIGHLIGHT Factory escapes some WIZARDRY by D.C. Pro Hoops as Big AL gets the game-winner only after the "TRUTH" nearly goes Digital Front Page again!..."Fight for LARRY" ATLANTA goes up 3-2 with the "King of the SOUTH" Tip Harris dba T.I. in the Building!

After a Demarre Carroll lay-up with 14.2 seconds remaining in the 4th the Hawks and Philips Arena thought or hoped the game was over. Then with 8.3 seconds on the clock that man again the "Truth" Paul Pierce sends a "Dagger" through Philips Arena with what looked like a game-winning money ball moving the score to 81-80 Wiz Kids D.C.!

Then with 3.9 seconds remaining and Hawks PG Jeff Teague's Caddy Dennis Schroder getting his lay-up blocked it was this man that saved the day for the Highlight Factory...

Yes Big Al Horford (23 pts 11 rebs 5 blks) saves the day as Wall-Star's money ball attempt was no good an the Hawks survive moving onto a game 6 at the Big "Hot Spot" the Verizon Center in D.C..

A game that was nip and tuck through three frames saw the Wizards take a nine point lead 73-64 almost midway through the 4th. The Hawks three minutes later went on a 10-0 run highlighted of course by money balls by Horford and Kyle Korver. It came down to that offensive board put back by Big Al that close to get a winner!

Teague (14 pts), Paul Milsap (14 pts), and Carroll (10 pts) went double figures joining Big Al's team-high 23 as Atlanta committed some 23 turnovers and that cannot happen in game 6 coming out of he motel or else!

The Wizards get 23 points from Bradley Beal who looks more and more comfortable making plays off the bounce. John Wall added 15 points and seven assists as he put the Wiz in overdrive all night lone in the transition game. Gortat (14 pts 8 rebs) and Pierce (11 pts) as he as almost front page again!

Game 6 is back in D.C. on Friday Night May 15th....
