Former Oklahoma star Trae Young and his Atlanta Hawks are preparing to battle the Philadelphia 76ers in a massive Game 7 in the Eastern Conference Semifinals on Sunday night.
The Hawks have been one of the surprise teams of the season coming from largely low expectations to gain the No. 5 seed in the Eastern Conference and then defeating the New York Knicks on five games in the first round
Now, they have pushed the No. 1 seed 76ers to the brink of elimination but failed to finish the job in Game 6 on Friday night at home. So they now must go into the “City of Brotherly Love” to try and pull out the monstrous win.
Young has seen his status in the league grow from an exciting young player to a legitimate budding superstar in these playoffs. His play has been sensational and if he and Atlanta can find a way to win this game, it will be a serious accomplishment. The winner of this game will meet the No. 3 seed, Milwaukee Bucks, in the Eastern Conference Finals beginning later in the week.
To see Young and the Hawks try and pull the upset, here is everything you need to know:
WHEN: 7:00 p.m. CT
