The Story of the Game So Far
Tyrese Maxey is the reason Philadelphia has command of this game. His 15 points on 6-of-10 shooting — including 2-of-5 from three — combined with 2 steals already is the kind of two-way burst that makes him one of the most dangerous guards in the Eastern Conference. The Sixers have converted 13 fast-break points to Atlanta's 2, which is the defining statistical gap through one and a half quarters.
Atlanta's Jalen Johnson is doing his best to keep the Hawks competitive with 8 points and 3 assists, but Atlanta's 10 turnovers compared to Philadelphia's 6 have been costly. The Hawks are shooting efficiently when they do get clean looks, but the ball security issues are handing Philly easy buckets at an alarming rate.
