How ‘natural instincts’ nearly led Hawks’ Dyson Daniels to a triple-double vs. Wizards

Atlanta Hawks guard Dyson Daniels narrowly missed a triple-double, recording 13 points, nine rebounds, and 12 assists in a 139-132 victory over the Washington Wizards. Daniels credited his natural rebounding instincts for his strong performance, especially with the Hawks missing several frontcourt players including Jalen Johnson and Jock Landale. He came just one rebound shy of the milestone after teammate Onyeka Okongwu secured a late board.

Daniels also spent significant time defending former teammate Trae Young, who posted 23 points and 10 assists in his return to Atlanta. Lu Dort paced the Hawks with 25 points, benefiting from the team's 38 total assists under head coach Quin Snyder's fast-paced, ball-movement offense as Atlanta held off a late Washington comeback.
