The Atlanta Hawks returned to winning ways with a victory over the very short-handed Philadelphia 76ers at State Farm Arena on Monday night, 112-94.
Trae Young led the Hawks with a bounce-back game, scoring 26 points, while Brandon Goodwin and De’Andre Hunter added 15 points apiece as all five Hawks starters notched double-figure scoring.
For the Sixers — who had only nine players active on Monday due to injuries and COVID-19/contact tracing — Joel Embiid scored 24 points in 22 minutes.
That being said about the Sixers, they did threaten to begin this game, and that was due to Embiid just bullying the Hawks in the first quarter, scoring 16 points in the opening frame.
