Tyrese Maxey scored 24 points and Jaden Springer scored 14 points and grabbed four offensive rebounds, but Payton Pritchard dazzled in the fourth quarter to send the Sixers to a 114-106 defeat.
Led by Ben Simmons, the Sixers got off to a fast start and didn’t look back in a 127-83 blowout of the shorthanded Hawks at the Wells Fargo Center Wednesday.

The 2019-20 season will mark Brett Brown's seventh year as the Head Coach of the 76ers and only the third season for the team as a playoff contender in the Eastern Conference.
Pain builds character. That's basically what Brett Brown had to say regarding Joel Embiid following Philadelphia's gut-wrenching loss to the Raptors in Game 7 in Toronto on Sunday night.
