The Atlanta Hawks certainly seem to have a propensity for the dramatic when they match up with the Philadelphia 76ers, as the last two contests between these two teams have both come down to the final moments. On Saturday night at State Farm Arena, the Hawks were once again victorious as a Trae Young floater nestled into the bottom of the net and the hosts walked away with a 129-127 victory. In what was a mere mathematical formality, Atlanta was eliminated from the playoffs earlier this week – though the innumerable questions head coach Lloyd Pierce and his players have fielded about it would indicate that it was some sort of shock – but that doesn’t mean the local professional basketball team was rolling over to die over the last several games of the season.
