The Atlanta Hawks completed one of the most spectacular comebacks in NBA Playoff history as they rallied from 26 points down to take Game 5 in Philadelphia 109-106.
Trae Young scored 39 points on 10-of-26 shooting from the field and 17-of-19 from the free throw line. John Collins added 19 points and 11 rebounds. For the Sixers, Joel Embiid scored 37 points while the only other Sixer to score in double digits, Seth Curry, added 36 points.
Game 5 could not have gotten off to a worse start as the Sixers ran out to a double digit lead in the early exchanges of the first quarter as Embiid came out on a mission, scoring 17 points in the first quarter on a perfect 8-of-8 shooting as the Sixers shot 80% from the field.
