Through 3 Quarters
The Philadelphia 76ers were expected to win this one, and they are just one quarter away from fulfilling that expectation. After three quarters it’s looking more and more like their high-powered offense is just too much for the Atlanta Hawks as Philadelphia lead 91-69.
The Sixers have been led by power forward Tobias Harris, who so far has posted a double-double on 20 points and ten boards along with four dimes. Atlanta has enjoyed the tag-team combination of center Clint Capela and shooting guard Bogdan Bogdanovic. The former has dropped a double-double on 11 points and 11 rebounds, while the latter has 13 points in addition to four boards. Bogdanovic is close to surpassing his season high of 14. Capela does need to be careful, however, as he is in foul trouble with four.
This is the most points the 76ers have had yet this year going into the fourth quarter.
