GRADES: Philadelphia 76ers 105, Atlanta Hawks 103

This game is where Joel Embiid returned from an ankle injury for the Philadelphia 76ers and the Atlanta Hawks were flying high. Both teams were 2-0 going into tonight. We all know something had got to give with that being the case.

The first quarter could lead one to panic considering the Sixers gave up 40 points and six threes. Trae Young was, well, performing like the newly minted Eastern Conference Player of the Week. Despite that offensive explosion, the Sixers were only down 9 thanks to early defensive disruption by one Matisse Thybulle.
