The Philadelphia Sixers overcame an early double-digit deficit to pull out a 104-99 win over the Atlanta Hawks to force a Game 7.
Joel Embiid has been dominant in this series for the Philadelphia 76ers, and his supporting cast has been almost as good.
The Atlanta Hawks established their dominance in Game 1 and now have an opportunity to steal another game despite Joel Embiid's return.
Trae Young led the Atlanta Hawks to a 128-124 Game 1 upset over the Philadelphia 76ers despite the return of Joel Embiid.
Let’s look further to see if Atlanta can take advantage of Joel Embiid’s absence or if 76ers supporting cast can step in his absence.
Trae Young led the way for the Hawks with 27 points and nine assists, but Atlanta had six different players score in double figures.
