For the first time this season, the Atlanta Hawks beat the Washington Wizards, getting the 129-117 win in the NBA Cup, after two straight losses.

On the other side, the No.2 overall pick Alexandre Sarr had a losing effort of 20 points, 7 rebounds, 2 assists, 4 steals, and 3 blocks – shooting 7/13 from the field. His teammate Bilal Coulibaly, instead, went close to a double-double with 9 points and 9 rebounds, adding 5 assists and 2 steals.
The former JL Bourg-en-Bresse talent has been averaging 11.7 points, 4.0 rebounds, and 1.3 assists in his first season in the NBA; Alexandre Sarr, instead, is having 9.5 points, 5.8 rebounds, and 2.2 assists per game.
