WASHINGTON (AP) -- Jamal Crawford scored 29 points and the
Atlanta Hawks avoided a three-game losing streak by beating the
Washington Wizards 105-99 Thursday night.

Joe Johnson and Al Horford each scored 18 points in Atlanta's
first trip to the nation's capital this season for the makeup of a
game that was postponed Feb. 6 due to a blizzard which left two
feet of snow in the area.

Andray Blatche had 30 points and 10 rebounds for Washington, in
the midst of a stretch of three games in three nights because of
the schedule change.

Crawford scored 12 points in the final 3:37 of the third
quarter, making six free throws and connecting on two of his four
made 3-pointers.
