The Hawks shot 36.6 percent from the floor. They shot 30 percent from 3. They shot just over 50 percent at the rim. Trae Young was 8-for-26 and sported athletic tape on his right shoulder from a minor injury he sustained in Game 3, which caused him to have it wrapped whenever he was on the bench. John Collins was 6-for-15. The Sixers shot 41 percent from 3. Joel Embiid had 17 points and 21 rebounds. Tobias Harris once again had at least 20 points. Seth Curry was 7-for-10 from the floor. The Hawks were down by 18 near the end of the first half.
The Hawks were down 2-1 entering Monday’s game in what was, essentially, a must-win game to avoid going to Philadelphia on Wednesday down 3-1 with the end of the season staring them in the face. With the stats listed above, there’s no way this young, inexperienced Hawks team beat the No.
