Daily News | Sixers top Hawks 136-131 in OT without top six players, will face Nets in the playoffs
ATLANTA — The 76ers, at least some version of them, arrived Friday evening at the State Farm Arena.
The Sixers are locked into the East’s No. 3 seed and will face the sixth-seeded Brooklyn Nets in the first round of the playoffs. Brooklyn clinched the sixth seed with Miami’s loss to Washington on Friday night before the Nets’ victory over the Orlando Magic had ended. The Hawks had looked to lock up the No. 8 seed for next week’s play-in tournament against a Sixers team with nothing to play for.
Jalen McDaniels and Niang paced the Sixers with 24 points each and Danuel House Jr. added 22 off the bench. Montrezl Harrell had 11 points and 10 rebounds, with seven coming in the second quarter. But the Sixers had nothing but pride to play for. With no postseason incentives, the Sixers chose to rest their key players out of caution and heel injuries.How can the Sixers replicate the success of 1983? Bobby Jones explains what it takes.
The Sixers went with a starting lineup of McDaniels, Niang, Paul Reed, Milton and Springer. Two-way player Louis King was the only active Sixer who didn’t see any action. Like McClung, this marked the first time he was with the Sixers for a game.
