The Atlanta Hawks slipped to a 9-12 record this season after last night’s loss to the Philadelphia 76ers, placing them as the 10th seed in the East, currently trailing the sixth seed by three-and-a-half games.
The Hawks certainly put themselves in a position to win last night’s game, but ended up losing in an unappealing fashion. Joel Embiid took charge early in the game, scoring the first two baskets and contributing nine of the 76ers’ initial 14 points. On the Hawks’ side, Dejounte Murray scored a couple of nice buckets early in the game by attacking the rim.
