Phoenix is about to reach the NBA semi-finals, but the 76ers turned the series.
The Phoenix Suns have taken the next step towards reaching the NBA’s Western Conference Finals.
The 76ers are turning the series and Phoenix is close to the playoffs.
After the 116-102 win against the Denver Nuggets in the best-of-seven series, the basketball team is only one victory away from progressing. The Philadelphia 76ers defeated the Atlanta Hawks 127-111. This gave them a 2-1 lead in the series.
In game three, Phoenix dominated the first quarter (27:37) and could rely on a strong Devin Booker who scored 28 points. Chris Paul contributed to the third win with 27 points. If the nuggets fail to find a solution, they will be eliminated from a playoff series with zero wins for the first time since the 2007/2008 season.
The guests from Atlanta were able to turn the duel around. The Hawks had won the first game 128-124, but Philadelphia had now won two games in a row. The start after the break was the decisive factor, because the 76ers won the third quarter with 34:19.
The top performance of Joel Embiid continues to cause concern, who despite his knee problems recorded 27 points, nine rebounds, eight assists and three blocked shots. “I’m fine,” says Embiid fiercely. “I finished the game. I keep getting up and moving on no matter what. I’ve been like this ever since I started playing basketball. “
