The Hawks are going to the Eastern Conference finals in spite of Trae Young's worst shooting performance of the playoffs.
Atlanta defeated the 76ers by a final score of 103-96 in a grind of a Game 7 that saw Young shoot just 5-for-23 from the field. Young's shooting percentage of 21.7 was his lowest of the postseason and his fourth-lowest season-long mark, but he still managed to make big plays in clutch moments.
Notably, he hit a 3-point shot from well beyond the arc in the fourth quarter to extend the Hawks lead to six. From there, the team was largely able to keep the 76ers at an arm's length.
Young finished the game with 21 points and a team-high 10 assists, but Kevin Huerter was the key to the Atlanta offense. Huerter had a team-high 27 points and made 10-of-18 shots from the field. He kept the Hawks afloat through Young's first-half struggles and helped will them to the win.
Meanwhile, the 76ers got strong efforts from Joel Embiid and Tobias Harris. Embiid posted 31 points and 11 rebounds on the night while Harris logged 24 points and 14 boards. However, the team committed seven more turnovers than the Hawks and Ben Simmons failed to make enough of an impact as a scorer to earn the victory.
The defeat marked the fourth consecutive Game 7 defeat for Sixers coach Doc Rivers while Hawks coach Nate McMillan emerged with just his third playoff series win in 12 chances.

9:33 p.m. — Crazy but true: Neither team has led by more than five points at any time in this game. Just over halfway through the third, it's tied at 60.
9:32 p.m. — Ben Simmons finishes a reverse alley-oop jam. He has four points, seven rebounds and 11 assists during the game.
9:31 p.m. — Trae Young finds Clint Capela again. That's been Young's best move on offense all night long.

76ers
- Ben Simmons: 3
- Tobias Harris: 2
- Seth Curry: 2
- Furkan Korkmaz: 2
- Tyrese Maxey: 2
Hawks
- Clint Capela: 2
- John Collins: 2
- Kevin Huerter: 2

- Danilo Gallinari: 2
End of second quarter: Hawks 48, 76ers 46
9:07 p.m. — Trae Young is shooting one of 12 from the field and has just nine points, but the Hawks find themselves ahead at the half, 48-46. How are they doing it? They're winning the turnover battle 10-4 and are hanging in this grind of a game as a result.
9:05 p.m. — Three first-half fouls for Ben Simmons. Another thing to watch for the Sixers, especially early in the third quarter.
9:04 p.m. — Joel Embiid was grabbing at his leg after hitting the floor. He's on the court and playing, but he is dealing with a small tear in his right meniscus (knee). Something to watch in the second half.
9:00 p.m. — Seth Curry and Kevin Huerter are going back and forth with 3-point makes. They're both playing well tonight.
8:55 p.m. — After taking a hard foul, Trae Young stays down and does some push-ups. He is amped up.
8:53 p.m. — Trae Young bounces back from his technical and finds Clint Capela who puts down an easy dunk.
8:50 p.m. — Trae Young has picked up a technical foul. He believed he was fouled by Ben Simmons before he called timeout. The officials originally called it but rescinded it. That's Young's third technical foul of the series.
8:48 p.m. — Joel Embiid throws down a monster dunk that brought the Wells Fargo Center to life. What a play.
8:46 p.m. — Ben Simmons and George Hill combine for a nice little and-one opportunity.
8:45 p.m. — Trae Young ends his cold stretch with a 3-point make. He now has seven points on one of seven shooting.
8:43 p.m. — Kevin Huerter missed his first shot of the game. He's now four of five from the field with nine points.
8:40 p.m. — The Hawks had no turnovers in the first quarter. It took them over 14 minutes of game action to commit one. That's one of the main reasons they're leading in spite of Trae Young's early shooting struggles.
8:38 p.m. — After Danilo Gallinari makes back-to-back 3-point shots, every Hawk to shoot so far has made at least one basket... except for Trae Young. Despite that, the Hawks lead by five.
8:34 p.m. — Nate McMillan's takeaways from the first quarter: He likes how the Hawks offense is operating but wants them to allow fewer free throws. Sounds about right.
8:32 p.m. — The Hawks and Sixers each have a player with two fouls. Seth Curry has two for Philly while Clint Capela picked up his second at the end of the first quarter. Capela is key in the battle against Joel Embiid, so the Hawks will keep a close eye on him.
End of first quarter: 76ers 28, Hawks 25
8:29 p.m. — Trae Young hasn't made shots in the first quarter — he's 0-6 from the floor — but he has four points at the free throw line. Still, the Hawks will need more from him to win this one. They're lucky to be down just 28-25 after one quarter. Also, Joel Embiid made a great shot to end the quarter.
8:27 p.m. — Lou Williams' first shot is a make, but it took a while before it decided to go down.
8:25 p.m. — Matisse Thybulle makes his first 3-point shot. He didn't score in Game 6.
8:18 p.m. — Kevin Huerter has made his first four shots and has nine points. His contributions are vital with Trae Young missing his first four shots.
8:17 p.m. — Seth Curry picks up his second foul about halfway through the first quarter. He has averaged 30 points over his last two games, so this is a big development for the 76ers.
8:14 p.m. — Joel Embiid just hit a tough shot falling away from the basket. That gives the 76ers their first lead of the game, 15-13 going into the first commercial break.
8:10 p.m. — The Hawks are making some nice passes off the bat. Trae Young finds Clint Capela for an alley-oop.
8:08 p.m. — Joel Embiid has the first six points for the 76ers. Kevin Huerter has five of the first seven for the Hawks.
8:07 p.m. — Last night, Charles Barkley guaranteed the Bucks would beat the Nets. He was right. Tonight, he is on the Sixers.
8:03 p.m. — 76ers win the tipoff. Furkan Korkmaz misses the first shot of the game. John Collins starts the scoring with a two-point bucket for the Hawks.
7:55 p.m. — Shaq wants Ben Simmons to be aggressive in this one and not worry about the free throw issues he has been having.
7:50 p.m. — No surprises with the Hawks starting lineup either. Trae Young, Bogdan Bogdanovic, Kevin Huerter, John Collins and Clint Capela will begin the game for Atlanta.
7:37 p.m. — The Sixers' starting five is in. It's the same as Game 6: Ben Simmons, Seth Curry, Furkan Korkmaz, Tobias Harris and Joel Embiid.
7:30 p.m. — Joel Embiid and the Sixers are getting in some pregame work.
7:25 p.m. — Who wore it better, Ben Simmons or Joel Embiid?
