The sensation is complete: Atlanta advanced this morning (Monday) to the Eastern Conference Finals for the first time since 2015 and for the second time in the last 50 years, after beating Philadelphia 96: 103 in the seventh and decisive game.
In the regional final that will begin on the night between Wednesday and Thursday, the Hawks will try to continue the magic campaign against Yannis Antocompo and the Milwaukee Bucks, hoping to create another big surprise against a superior opponent.
As throughout the playoffs, the Hawks have lined up for the game as a distinct underdog, facing the Sixers who are supposed to be better and more talented in every position, and with the team’s historic balance standing at 9 losses in every 7 games they have played away.
But as in the previous two games in the series held in Philadelphia, this time too Trey Young and his friends enjoyed silencing the crowd and taking advantage of the Sixers stars ’non-resistance to achieve the decisive victory in a game that was close in most stages.

After a first quarter under easy control of the Sixers, the Hawks sub-players once again started to make a difference, even as Trey Young recorded a weak and disappointing first half with just 1 of 12 from the field.
The Hawks went down to the half with a two-point lead, and knew Xiang would wake up in the second half, which indeed happened.
The young guard who carries the Hawks on his back throughout the surprising journey in the playoffs, appeared in moments of truth, just as the Sixers stars were gone.
His important three-pointer, along with three crucial free-throws by night hero Kevin Horter, secured the win in the closing minutes and sealed another disappointing playoff game for the Sixers, who again did not live up to expectations.
Kevin Horter topped the Hawks' scoring list with 27 (10 of 18 from the field) along with 7 rebounds, Trey Young came out of the weak first half and finished with 21 (5 of 23 from the field) along with 10 assists, and an impressive battery of sub-players including Danilo Glinari (17) , John Collins (14 and 16 rebounds) and Clint Capella (13) have reached double digits, helping the Hawks with a show of winemaking and character, giving another twist to the crazy season, which somewhere in March looked completely different, with coach Lloyd Pierce fired with the team on a 20-year balance Losses and only 14 wins, 11th in the East.
Woke up at the right moment.

The Sixers, on the other hand, were sent for another too long summer of homework and thoughts about the future. Joel Ambide once again finished too early a supreme personal season, this time too delivering the goods with 31 points and 11 rebounds, but even this time he is not getting enough help, and not showing enough leadership or winery. Tobias Harris added 24, 14 rebounds and 4 assists, Seth Kerry contributed 16, and the big missing was Ben Simmons, who settled for just 5 points, and although he added 13 assists and 8 rebounds, but did not appear for Money Time again, did not throw to the basket In the final quarter he played a fourth straight game (and threw only 4 times from the field the entire game), again leaving Philly with a lot of question marks about his ability to function as a second fiddle in a big team, or complete Ambide. Doc Rivers also continues his choking tradition in the playoffs, reaching a dubious record with seven losses in Game 7 throughout his career, the most in NBA history.
Bottom line, the crazy playoffs continue, and now the two ranked 1st in the two conferences outside the regional finals, something that has not happened since 1994.
