Hawks travel to Philadelphia for rematch against 76ers

The Hawks travel up north for their 3rd game in 4 nights



The Atlanta Hawks will play their second of two straight games against the Philadelphia 76ers, this time in the City of Brotherly Love. The first one went pretty well for the home team, as Trae Young led the team to a 104-95 victory with a team-leading 26 points along with seven assists.

Young matched 76ers big man Joel Embiid, who also had 26 points along with 13 rebounds. On top of that, it was a complete offensive performance for the Hawks as all five starters were in double-figures and Onyeka Okongwu came off the bench to provide 10 points and 11 rebounds.

On the other side of the court, they will contend with not just the runner-up for the past two MVP awards in Embiid (27.8 points and 10 rebounds per game). Tyrese Maxey has had an increased workload in the absence of James Harden, while Tobias Harris continues to be a viable scoring option at forward. PJ Tucker has struggled offensively, but can still be a defensive presence.
