The Atlanta Hawks and Philadelphia 76ers will take the floor Sunday evening for Game 7, something many did not see coming even after the Hawks dismantled the New York Knicks in five games in the first round of the NBA Playoffs.
Two improbable come-from-behind victories over the 76ers in Game 4 and Game 5 left Atlanta with a chance to finish off the No. 1 seed in the friendly confines of State Farm Arena in Game 6. After coming up short Friday night, the Hawks will now be tasked with one of the most difficult jobs in all of sports: winning a Game 7 on the road.
