Johnson’s 41 and Clutch Threes in Double OT Push Hawks Past Embiid and the 76ers
Jalen Johnson scored 41 points with 14 rebounds and 7 assists to lead the Hawks to a 142-134 double-overtime win over the Sixers, spoiling Joel Embiid's return.
- Sunday at Xfinity Mobile Arena, the Atlanta Hawks defeated the Philadelphia 76ers 142-134 in double overtime, with Jalen Johnson hitting late threes and finishing with 41 points, 14 rebounds and seven assists.
- With Edgecombe back, the Sixers entered the matchup at full strength, and Joel Embiid returned after nine games, scoring 18 points in 30 minutes, alongside Paul George, Tyrese Maxey, and VJ Edgecombe.
- Key miscues — turnovers during a 13-0 Atlanta run and missed late free throws — hurt the Sixers, despite Maxey’s 44 points, nine assists, and seven rebounds.
- The loss leaves Philadelphia 76ers 10-9 and Atlanta Hawks 13-8, and Philadelphia will face the Washington Wizards on Tuesday.
- With limited bench scoring, rotation questions grew as the Sixers did not send Joel Embiid out for the second overtime and turned to Adem Bona at center.
