The Sixers role to game 2 win. Sixers win 118-102 to tie the series at 1-1. they had two huge runs — one at the start of the game and one at the end of the third/start of the fourth — to secure the win. Reassigning Danny Greens’ primary defensive role was certainly the edge the Sixers needed in the 118 – 102 victory. Joel (The Process) Embiid doing Embiid type things with a 40pt double double, getting chipy with Atlanta’s Danilo Gallinari, and being an all-around menace on both sides of the ball.
The Hawks did make a push in the second quarter cutting the Sixer lead to 2 going into the half. The Sixers held Trae Young to 21 not typically what the young star is used to putting up. It was strong defense lead by Ben Simmons and Matisse Thybulle that helped the Sixers role to a game 2 win. The crowd was electric down at the Wells Fargo Center in South Philadelphia tonight! The 6th man came through in fine fashion. Philly had zero bench points in the first half. Then all of a sudden Shake Milton scored 14 points off the bench.
