Juan Dixon was scoreless through 3 quarters of play on Sunday versus the Hawks, but he went on a 4th quarter tear, scoring 15 points, helping the Wizards beat Atlanta by a score of 104-101.

The win improved the Wizards record to 16-13.

"It's tough sitting there on the bench, but you have to stay prepared and be in the right mind-set," said Dixon. "You never know when your number is going to be called. I cheered the guys on in the first half, then I had to go out there and be aggressive and make plays."

"Juan played great," Larry Hughes said. "He came in aggressive and took good shots. He definitely was the difference."
