Daily News | Atlanta Hawks use third-quarter surge to top Sixers, 104-95
ATLANTA — Dejounte Murray had nobody blocking his path to the basket. Yet the Hawks guard still opted for the highlight play, flipped the ball back to trailing teammate Onyeka Okungwu for the rim-rocking two-handed slam.
The Sixers coach was forced to call another about a minute later, after Justin Holiday knocked down a three-pointer before Okongwu’s authoritative finish pushed Atlanta’s advantage to 94-74 with less than eight minutes to play. Shake Milton then came into the game late in the first, before Danuel House Jr. started the second quarter in his return from a non-COVID illness. Embiid played stretch at the top of the second quarter with Melton, Milton, House and Niang.
