The Atlanta Hawks will take on the Philadelphia 76ers Friday evening, looking for a win and a series lead in a pivotal Game 3. The Hawks and Sixers split two games in Philadelphia before traveling south.
The Hawks took a huge lead in Game 1, and wound up holding on after a wild finish. Philadelphia controlled most of Game 2, while the Hawks did mount a third quarter run before faltering late.
So far through two games, Atlanta has no answer for Joel Embiid, who was allegedly injured coming into the series. He hasn’t look hindered in the slightest by his partially torn meniscus, totaling 79 points in the first two games of the series.
