Joel Embiid, Sixers try to avoid elimination in Game 6 vs. Hawks

The resilient Atlanta Hawks have overcome 18- and 26-point deficits in the past two games to push the top-seeded Philadelphia 76ers to the brink of elimination in their Eastern Conference semifinal series. The fifth-seeded Hawks will look to provide one final shove and advance to the conference finals for the first time since 2015 when they meet the 76ers for Game 6 in Atlanta on Friday. “There’s no quit,” Hawks coach Nate McMillan said after his team’s 109-106 win in Philadelphia in Game 5.
