The Atlanta Hawks outlasted the Philadelphia 76ers 117-107, snapping their three-game skid on Thursday night.
Jalen Johnson dropped 32 points and 10 rebounds, and CJ McCollum added 23 points for the Hawks. Dyson Daniels finished with 15 points, Nickeil Alexander-Walker scored 14, and Zaccharie Risacher and Jock Landale each had 10.
On the other hand, Tyrese Maxey led the Sixers with 28 points, and Rising Stars MVP VJ Edgecombe added 20 points, as they played without center Joel Embiid due to a right shin injury.
Kelly Oubre Jr. contributed 17 points, Quentin Grimes 14, and Andre Drummond added 10 points and 14 rebounds, but not enough to end their three-game skid, and now for the fourth time in five games.
Atlanta built an 11-point lead with approximately six minutes remaining before the Sixers charged back and closed within 108-104 with less than three minutes left.
The Hawks sealed the win with a 9-3 run that included five points by Johnson, who shot 14 for 16 from the line.
Philadelphia will be in New Orleans on Saturday, while Atlanta hosts the Heat on Friday.
