The Atlanta Hawks defeated the Philadelphia 76ers, 103-96, at Wells Fargo Center on Sunday evening in Game 7 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals. As a result, the Hawks advanced to the Eastern Conference Finals, where they'll face the Milwaukee Bucks.

The Sixers got off to a better start in Game 7 and jumped out to a 28-25 lead in the first quarter, but that would be the only time they'd win an individual quarter the rest of the way. Atlanta responded with a 23-18 score in the second quarter and grabbed a two-point lead at the break, an advantage they'd never relinquish by a big margin in the second half. Atlanta never allowed Philadelphia to escape and while both teams traded leads from time to time, the Hawks still had the edge after three quarters with a 28-25 score, and they'd close things out with a 27-25 score in the fourth quarter. Atlanta did an excellent job of closing things out and pulled a gigantic upset at Wells Fargo Center, while Philadelphia suffered another deception two years in a row after its disappointing performance in last year's playoffs as well.

Kevin Huerter, who drained three clutch free throws at the end of the game, ended with a team-high 27 points to lead the Hawks offensively. Trae Young struggled badly from the floor (5-23 FG, 2-11 3Pt) but still posted a double-double of 21 points and 10 assists. John Collins also registered a double-double after posting 14 points and 16 rebounds, while Clint Capela chipped in with 13 points and six boards. Danilo Gallinari had 17 points off the bench.

Joel Embiid finished with 31 points and 11 rebounds for the Sixers, but his contributions were not enough. Tobias Harris also ended with a double-double after posting 24 points and 14 rebounds, while Seth Curry delivered another decent performance and finished with 16 points. No other Philadelphia player ended with double-digit points and that includes Ben Simmons, who only had five points to go along with 13 assists.
