When Trae Young was announced as an All-Star starter, there were some critics that suggested he should not have been in line for the honour given the Atlanta Hawks lowly ranking in the Eastern Conference standings. In the continuation of Young silencing those doubters, he dished out a career-high 18 assists against the Philadelphia 76ers in the Hawks 127-117 upset win. The second-year guard added 39 points and six rebounds in a dominant performance, as Atlanta was able to hold off the Sixers down the stretch to close out the game.
Philadelphia, the loss adds to its struggles on the road, and the Sixers now slump to a 31-18 record overall, which leaves them 3.5 games back of the Toronto Raptors for second place, and an incredible 11 games back of the Milwaukee Bucks in first. The Sixers are now 9-16 away from home this season. The nine road wins are the third-lowest mark among the 16 playoff teams across both conferences, with only the Orlando Magic and Brooklyn Nets trailing them with eight wins apiece.
