Following a four-game losing streak, the Atlanta Hawks traveled back home to host the short-handed Philadelphia 76ers. Through a combination of better basketball and a lack of available talent on the Sixers’ front, the Hawks ran away with an 112-94 win for its first win since Jan. 1.
The Hawks reverted to starting Cam Reddish following Bogdan Bogdanovic’s injury last game in Charlotte. Trae Young entered the game shooting 1-14 from beyond the arc through the Hawks’ last three games, and hoped to find his groove again.
Philadelphia was forced to put a lot of faith in Joel Embiid early, as he was one of nine players available for the team.
