Charlie Brown scored 16 points in 28 minutes but the Hawks lost to the Wizards 76-71 Thursday in the NBA Summer League in Las Vegas.

Tahjere McCall was the only other Hawks player scoring in double figures with 12. McCall, a guard, led the Hawks with nine rebounds.

The Hawks, who were ahead 22-13 after the first quarter, finished the preliminary round with a 1-3 record. Washington is 2-2.
