ATLANTA, Nov. 19 (UPI) -- A three-pointer by Marvin Williams with 26 seconds remaining Wednesday put Atlanta in front and the Hawks hung on to down Washington 91-87.
Atlanta halted a four-game losing streak, which came on the heels of six straight victories to start the season.
Washington remained stuck on a single victory all year. The Wizards have lost their last three.
Williams' shot gave the Hawks an 89-87 lead and Atlanta survived two Washington attempts to tie it -- a jumper from Juan Dixon and a missed follow shot by Nick Young.
Atlanta's Ronald Murray was then fouled with 10 seconds to play and his two free throws accounted for the final score.
Mike Bibby paced Atlanta with 25 points and Williams had 21. Joe Johnson added 19, but he made only seven of 22 shots from the field.
The Wizards were led by 32 points from Caron Butler.
