The Sixers will finish their six -game road trip Monday evening against the Pélicans. Here are observations on their defeat against the Hawks:
Bon bodity
Nothing on the first two minutes suggested that the Sixers were going to break the skid.
The team committed reversals on its first two possessions and Atlanta scored the first five points of the night. And, with only 89 seconds sold, the head coach of the Sixers, Nick Nurse, obtained a technical fault for his touch complaints about the officer.
EDWARDS recommented again. He scored eight points in about six minutes and continued to show growing comfort to attack fences when open horsemen are not available. Edwards pulled 11 free throws in the last two games. Before Friday, he had an average of 1.2 free throws per match during his recruit year.
The defense of the Sixers has again disclosed all kinds of points. Georges Niang quickly hit two long -range shots after recorded. Three free throws from Niang with 3.9 seconds playing in the first quarter gave the Hawks an advance of 35-24.
The Hawks bench has a major advantage
Another reason why the Sixers were late is that Grimes was not on his game early. He missed his first two riders and scored only two points in the first quarter. However, Grimes managed to display at least 25 for a consecutive match.
Once the two benches have entered the image, Atlanta had an important advantage. The Hawks outstripped the second Sixers unit by a margin of 36-11 in the first half. In addition to the 20 points of Niang, Dominick Barlow recorded a duplicate of 13 points and 10 rebounds.
Obviously, the Sixers do not have tonnes of workforce or firepower on the bench.
Their four second unit players available on Sunday were Jared Butler, Ricky Council IV, Alex Reese and Brissett. The advice followed its High career performance against spurs With 14 points in 19 minutes, but he committed a fault at the beginning of the fourth quarter.
Lottery image update
Risacher had a big third quarter and the advance of the Hawks continued to develop. Its corner three extended Atlanta’s advantage at 81-60.
From there, the only real question was exactly how much the Sixers will lose. Although the Sixers continued to connect, by reducing a deficit of up to 27 points to 11 with a little less than four minutes to play, the fourth quarter was still at low stress for Atlanta.
Of course, the subtext of the defeat of all sixs is that it increases their prospects for Draft NBA lottery. (The choice of first round of the team this year is Protected top-six.) After Sunday’s matches, the Sixers are tied with the nets for the fifth record of the League. New Orleans is fourth with 19-53.
The raptors are slightly behind the Sixers and the nets in terms of the image of a lottery at 24-47. Like the Sixers, they are on a sequence of four consecutive defeats. Toronto abandoned a match of 123-89 Sunday at the Spurs.
