John Collins hit a fadeaway jumper with 25 seconds left and the Hawks hung on for a 123-121 win over the 76ers on Friday night in Philadelphia.
The 76ers’ Jimmy Butler was fouled on a drive and had a chance to tie the game with 2.4 seconds left. Butler, an 86 percent free-throw shooter, clanged both shots to waste the chance at the tie. But Wilson Chandler slipped under the basket on the second miss and had a tip-in at the horn but failed to convert, leaving the Sixers stunned as they trudged off the court.
Collins scored 25 points and Kevin Huerter hit five 3s and led the Hawks with 29 points.
