ATLANTA -- Jeff Teague scored 26 points, Al Horford added 21 and the Atlanta Hawks rebounded from their first loss in more than a month to beat the Washington Wizards 105-96 on Wednesday night.

Teague finished off the Wizards with a drive to the basket, laying the ball in despite getting bounced to the floor by Marcin Gortat. Teague sank the free throw to complete the three-point play, giving Atlanta a 103-92 lead with 1:54 remaining.
John Wall had 24 points and Bradley Beal 23, but it wasn't enough to keep Washington from its season-high fourth consecutive loss.
