The 2015 NBA playoffs continue Friday night with Game 6 of the second-round series between the Atlanta Hawks and the Washington Wizards. Tipoff is at 7 p.m. ET. Watch the live stream or listen to the radio broadcast via the links provided below.
Atlanta took a commanding 3-2 lead in the series after winning Game 5 on Wednesday. The Hawks narrowly escaped with an 82-81 win on a last-second score by star Al Horford, who swooped in for the offensive rebound and the go-ahead put-back.
"I wasn't supposed to be involved in the play at all," he told the Associated Press afterward. "When I saw the ball go up, I just ran in there."
Wizards star John Wall played great defense on Hawks guard Dennis Schroder, who drove to the rim with seconds left and missed a contested layup, but Washington's decision to go small allowed the bigger Horford to outmuscle the Wizards - Nene, namely - for the rebound and what turned out to be the game-winner.
The fact Atlanta was able to win after playing sloppily throughout the game, which included committing an uncharacteristic 23 turnovers, speaks to the Hawks team. Horford finished with 23 points and 11 rebounds, and guard Jeff Teague and forward Paul Millsap each added 14 points.
Washington received a huge boost by having John Wall return from a two-game absence, but it didn't prove to be enough. Although Washington controlled most of the second half, the team once again appeared to fall victim to complacency and allowed the Hawks to mount a fourth quarter comeback.
Wizards guard Bradley Beal was the team's high scorer with 23 points, and Wall finished with 15 points and seven assists despite having five fractures in his left hand and wrist.
