The Atlanta Hawks (29 - 22) defeated the Philadelphia 76ers (7 - 42) 124 - 86 on Wednesday. The Hawks already had a double - digit lead after one quarter, and gradually pulled away from an overmatched Sixers squad that was coming off three full days of rest following a near upset of the reigning NBA champion Warriors last Saturday. Atlanta shot 52 percent from the field and 50 percent from beyond the arc, and with a comfortable lead throughout the second half, was able to give their bench players extended playing time. The reserves maximized the extra opportunity, scoring a whopping 80 of the team's 124 total points on the night. Five members of the second unit tallied double - digit scoring, and the Hawks enjoyed a lead as large as 43 points at one point in the fourth quarter. Atlanta was led by a pair of 13 - point efforts from Tim Hardaway, Jr. and Mike Scott. Hardway added seven rebounds, four assists and a steal, while Scott contributed a near double - double, hauling in nine boards, dishing out an assist and recording a steal. Three additional reserves - - Dennis Schroder, Thabo Sefolosha and Mike Muscala - - pitched in with 12 points apiece. Among the starters, Kent Bazemore led the way with his own 12 - point tally, which he complemented with three rebounds, two assists, a steal and a block. Paul Millsap and Jeff Teague followed with matching 10 - point performances, with the former also registering four rebounds, three assists, a steal and two blocks, and the latter amassing three rebounds, three assists and three steals. With the victory, the Hawks remain in first place in the Eastern Conference's Southeast Division. They head home for a Friday night showdown with the Indiana Pacers. The Sixers predictably had little to celebrate on the stat sheet, with a 17 - point outing by Nik Stauskas leading the way. He also managed four rebounds and a pair of assists. The frontcourt duo of Jahlil Okafor and Nerlens Noel were next in line with 10 points apiece, along with five and seven rebounds, respectively. Okafor also had three assists, a steal and a block, but turned the ball over five times as well. Noel dished out five assists of his own, along with two steals and a block. Isaiah Canaan paced the reserves with 11 points, two rebounds and an assist. The Sixers remain in last place in the Eastern Conference's Atlantic Division. They head to Washington to take on the Wizards on Friday.
