The Philadelphia 76ers (14 - 49) defeated the Atlanta Hawks (49 - 13) 92 - 84 on Saturday at the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia. The Atlanta Hawks came into this game on a six - game win streak, while the Sixers had lost four in a row, so it was an extremely surprising result when the Sixers came out with the victory on Saturday. Despite the loss, the Hawks were the superior shooters, going 39 percent from the field and 44 percent from the three - point line, while the Sixers went 37 percent from the floor and just 35 percent from deep. The Sixers did the majority of their work in the second half though, where they out - scored the Hawks 45 - 31, helping push them to the eight - point victory in front of their home crowd. The Sixers were led by a strong bench performance from Hollis Thompson. In 30 minutes, he went 7 - for - 10 from the field and 5 - for - 7 from the three - point line to match a team - high of 19 points, to go along with nine rebounds and four assists as well. Averaging just 8 points per game on the season, it was a nice suprise for the Sixers, especially considering he had n't reached double figures in points for six straight games. Thompson received some help though, as Luc Mbah A Moute posted 19 points (8 - 16 FG, 3 - 7 3Pt) of his own, while adding three rebounds and a steal. He's turned his game up a notch lately, averaging 17 points and 6 rebounds over his last three games. Nerlens Noel was a big factor in the win as well, as he finished with 11 points (4 - 12 FG, 3 - 6 FT), 17 rebounds and five steals. The rebounds were a season - high for him, while he's also been extremely effective on the defensive side of the ball and has posted four or more steals in each of his last three games. Starting at point guard, Isaiah Canaan added 12 points (2 - 13 FG, 2 - 9 3Pt, 6 - 8 FT), five rebounds and eight assists. In the Hawks defense, they did decide to rest three of their starters, including DeMarre Carroll, Paul Millsap and Kyle Korver, as they have already locked up a playoff spot in the Eastern Conference playoffs. With those guys out, Jeff Teague put it on himself to do the bulk of the work offensively. In 32 minutes, he finished with a team - high of 17 points (5 - 13 FG, 1 - 3 3Pt, 6 - 6 FT), while also recording four assists and two steals. He's had a good start to March, averaging 19 points and 4 assists over his last three games, but it was n't enough with the majority of his supporting cast on the sideline. The Hawks also received a solid contribution off their bench though, with Dennis Schroder posting 16 points (6 - 13 FG, 1 - 3 3Pt, 3 - 4 FT) and six assists. He came in with a season average of 9 points per game on the year, but he's shown a lot of improvement lately and has averaged 16 points and eight assists over his last four games. Both Al Horford and Mike Scott reached double figures as well, adding 12 and 11 points respectively. The Sixers' next game will be at home against the Chicago Bulls on Wednesday, while the Hawks will be at home against the Sacramento Kings on Monday.
