Wed Mar 26 01:20:00 UTC 2025: ## Hawks Soar Past 76ers in High-Scoring Affair

**Atlanta, GA –** Trae Young’s 28 points and 12 assists led the Atlanta Hawks to a dominant 132-119 victory over the Philadelphia 76ers on Sunday night. The Hawks’ offensive firepower was on full display, shooting 55% from the field, hitting 17 three-pointers, and making 19 of 22 free throws.

Rookie Zaccharie Risacher impressed with a 22-point performance, showcasing improved three-point shooting. His hot hand, including a key three-pointer and alley-oop dunk, ignited a crucial 13-0 run in the third quarter that propelled the Hawks to victory. Georges Niang added 20 points for Atlanta, while Onyeka Okongwu contributed 14 points and 9 rebounds. Dyson Daniels further bolstered the Hawks’ performance with five steals, surpassing 200 steals for the season – a feat achieved by only two other players in the 21st century.

Despite a strong effort from Quentin Grimes (26 points, 6 assists) and rookie Justin Edwards (22 points) for the 76ers, Philadelphia couldn’t keep pace with Atlanta’s offensive surge. Edwards, who recently averaged 21 points over four games, continues to impress in his rookie season. Other notable 76ers contributors included Ricky Council IV (14 points) and Guerschon Yabusele (11 points).

The 76ers will continue their road trip in New Orleans against the Pelicans on Monday, while the Hawks travel to Houston to face the Rockets on Tuesday.
