The Sixers sat their top six players and still pulled out a wild overtime victory Friday at State Farm Arena, beating the Hawks 136-131. They're locked in to play the Nets in the first round of the playoffs. NoahLevick of NBCSPhilly has the recap:
Trae Young led Atlanta with 27 points and 20 assists. The Sixers' highest scorers were Jalen McDaniels , Georges Niang , Danuel House Jr. , and Jaden Springer .
The 2021 first-round pick began the night guarding a two-time All-Star in Young. He clearly has a good feel for screen navigation and a knack for being solid on the ball, whether that looks like tight pressure or simply not ceding any clear downhill driving angles. Clint Capela is a formidable screener, though, and Young had little issue finding open teammates all over the court on his way to six first-quarter assists.
Confidently putting up threes and converting a few timely ones would be great, too. Over his first 20 games with the Sixers, McDaniels didn’t have any games with multiple three-point makes. He’s now done that in three straight contests. Eventually, Atlanta got a few pivotal threes to fall. John Collins made a key jumper and Young's first long-range make of the evening extended the Hawks' edge to seven points.
