It wasn't pretty.
But the Atlanta Hawks got the job done on Sunday, disposing of the Philadelphia 76ers, 103-96 in Game 7 of the Eastern Conference semifinals. With the win, the Hawks secured their second straight series upset to earn an unlikely berth in the Eastern Conference finals against the Milwaukee Bucks.
They did so on Trae Young's worst shooting night of the playoffs. But Atlanta leaned on Kevin Huerter on offense and flustered 76ers players in a grind of a game that saw Philadelphia struggle to generate offense.
While Young failed throughout the game to connect from the field, he hit a big 3-pointer in the game's final minutes and made critical free throws down the stretch as the 76ers were forced to foul.
