ATLANTA — Dejounte Murray had nobody blocking his path to the basket. Yet the Hawks guard still opted for the highlight play, flipped the ball back to trailing teammate Onyeka Okungwu for the rim-rocking two-handed slam.
That sequence epitomized how the Hawks built an ultimately insurmountable lead against the 76ers, who lost, 104-95, at State Farm Arena, falling to 5-7 in what remains a clunky start to the 2022-23 season.
The final minutes did feature some unexpected drama, however.
