For a change of pace Friday night, the Hawks opted to break out their shovels and dig their hole a little later than usual.
For in Game Six, the Hawks saved their sag for later – the start of the second half.
For the first time since Game One of the series, the Hawks had the halftime lead Friday.
For out stormed the 76ers to begin the third quarter, going on a 14-0 run to start the second half.
They got off to the run and he was a big piece of that,” said the Hawks Trae Young.
The first half our pace were really good, we got a lot of lobs at the rim, a lot of kick-out 3s, we felt like we were getting anything we wanted at the offensive end.
“I don’t think we were tight,” said the Hawks Nate McMillan, addressing the pressure of trying to close out this series at home and advance to the conference finaI.
“I missed a couple shots the second half that I made the first half,” Huerter said.
It kind of felt like the start of the last three games.
“As a team we got to stand back up, we got to fix our pace,” Huerter said, getting an early start on Sunday’s priorities.
