Dyson Daniels scored 25 points to pace six double-figure scorers and help the Atlanta Hawks defeat the visiting Philadelphia 76ers 132-123 on Monday.
It was the third straight win for the Hawks, who have won four of their last five. It was the 13th loss in 15 games for Philadelphia.
Atlanta led by 22 points with 8:36 remaining, but Philadelphia cut the lead to five points with 29.7 seconds left. Atlanta iced the game with a pair of free throws by Daniels and a slam by Zaccharie Risacher.
Daniels picked up the offensive slack left by the absence of Trae Young (left quad contusion) and Caris LeVert (sprained left middle finger), who missed the game with injuries. Daniels also had six rebounds, nine assists and two steals.
The Hawks also got 22 points and eight rebounds from Risacher, a season-high 19 points from Terance Mann, 18 from Georges Niang, 15 from Onyeka Okongwu and 14 from Mouhamed Gueye.
Philadelphia was led by Quentin Grimes with 35 points, seven rebounds, five assists and three steals. Ricky Council IV scored 19 and Jeff Dowtin Jr. added 17 points.
It was the first of three meetings between the two teams this season and Atlanta improved its winning streak against Philadelphia to three games. The clubs play again on March 23 in Philadelphia.
The Hawks had a 33-31 lead after one quarter thanks to 11 points from Risacher. They led by as many as 16 in the second quarter after a Risacher drive made it 62-46 at 3:36, but the Sixers cut it to 66-57 at the half on a runner by Justin Edwards just before the horn.
Philadelphia got as close as seven points early in the third quarter before Atlanta went on a 15-5 run and upped the lead to a game-best 17 points at 81-64. The Hawks took a 97-80 lead into the fourth quarter.
The injury-riddled Sixers had only nine available players and were without Andre Drummond (illness) and Kelly Oubre Jr. (right ankle sprain), as well as recently sidelined Paul George (left groin) and Tyrese Maxey (lower back sprain).
