Joel Embiid struggles in Atlanta as Sixers blow ‘golden opportunity,’ series tied 2-2


ATLANTA — With 2 minutes, 26 seconds left in Game 4, Atlanta’s Bogdan Bogdanovic went up for a mid-range jumper and it rimmed off. The Sixers, leading by four at that point, wouldn’t have been home free quite yet if they corralled that rebound. But they would have been in pretty good shape to head home with a 3-1 lead in this second-round series.

They did not get the rebound. John Collins bulled his way to the offensive glass through Tobias Harris and grabbed the board in traffic. On the reset, Trae Young drove and kicked to Collins who buried a wide-open corner 3-pointer. There was perhaps no single sequence that epitomized that Hawks’ 103-100 Game 4 win than this one.

“I thought Collins was the toughest man on the floor all night,” Sixers coach Doc Rivers said.
