Sixers cruise past the Hawks

The Philadelphia 76ers looked to get a little bit of revenge tonight against the Atlanta Hawks. Both teams came into the game with the same record at 4-2. The game started off pretty slow as there was a total of just six baskets made in the first seven minutes in the first quarter

Joel; Embiid would kick start the rally in the first quarter as he would hit a three to expand the sixers lead...

That would be followed up with some incredible defensive work from the sixers as well. To close out quarter number one both Tyrese Maxey and Georges Niang slams of off great defensive efforts by Matisse Thybulle. The sixers would take a 28-15 at the end of the first quarter.

Thybulle would continue his great defensive work as he had a snatch block early into the second quarter to get things going for the sixers defensively and that would to a fancy finish by Shake Milton...

Matisse would have another great block in the second quarter as he would send in into the stands. He blocked Cam Reddish...

Matisse was a defensive machine tonight and was a big reason for the Sixers win tonight. Seth Curry would continue being hot from beyond the arc in the second quarter. Curry is shooting the three-ball at an impressive 64%. The sixers would cruise in the second quarter taking a 60-46 lead at halftime.

The Sixers would continue to stay hot in the third quarter as Curry would promptly time another three from the corner as the Sixers would continue to roll against Hawks.
