The Atlanta Hawks hosted the Philadelphia 76ers on Thursday evening as they completed the second-half of a back-to-back. After a sluggish first half, the Hawks throttled the Sixers in the second half to the tune of a 104-95 victory.
The first half was a big ugly on each side, as the teams combined for just 88 points in the opening half, with Atlanta carrying a 46-42 lead into the half. Young was hot for the Hawks after a tough game Wednesday, as he had 18 points and four assists in the half. Joel Embiid had 17 of the 76ers’ 42 first-half points.
