The Atlanta Hawks will finish an inconsistent season with a record of at least .500 as the play-in round looms. Atlanta sits at 41-40 and clinched the eighth seed in the Eastern Conference on Friday thanks to a Raptors' loss. The Hawks fell at Philadelphia on Friday night 136-131 in overtime. Trae Young led the Hawks with 27 points and a career-high 20 assists but also committed nine turnovers as the Hawks fell to a Philadelphia team that sat out all five starters.
“We have to be consistent with what's going good,” Young said, adding the loss would mean “going back to the film room and understand what got us there” in the three-game winning streak.
