The Philadelphia 76ers were looking to put on a stronger effort at home on Saturday in order to get a win over a pretty solid team in the Atlanta Hawks. They were able to knock off the Detroit Pistons on Thursday, but it was not a very inspiring effort.
In this one, the Sixers went to work early and often as they built a double-digit lead in the first quarter and it ballooned to as much as 33 in this one on their way to a 122-94 victory. After a slow start, Joel Embiid and Tobias Harris had strong games for Philadelphia. Embiid had 19 points and five rebounds while Harris had 22 points on 9-for-13 shooting and 11 rebounds to lead the way in a big win.
Seth Curry added 15 points, Tyrese Maxey had 16 points, and Danny Green added six, four rebounds, and three assists. Andre Drummond had eight points and five rebounds off the bench, Shake Milton added 11 with four rebounds, and Matisse Thybulle had three blocks and four steals as he was stellar on that end while scoring 11 points.
Here are the player grades following a solid win at home:
