The Bottom Line
In a game where a series sweep may be on the line, the Washington Wizards find themselves in a situation to test out their pride. Doing so won’t be an easy task by any means necessary. What is the key to victory tonight in Atlanta for the Washington Wizards? Well, they must first figure out a way to slow down Trae Young. Trae Young is their MVP and if his team was winning on a regular nightly basis, he could very well be in consideration of the regular season MVP Award. They have to decide if they want to allow Trae Young to be a scorer or an assist man. He has been doing so much for this team. The ball is always in his hands. If they can cut either him or his teammates off from scoring, then they will have a chance to win.
