76ers vs. Hawks score: Live updates as Joel Embiid, Philadelphia seek 3-1 lead vs. Atlanta in NBA playoffs

The top-seeded Philadelphia 76ers are making life hard on Trae Young and the No. 5 Atlanta Hawks. After dropping the series opener, they have won two straight games, both by double figures. In the process, Philadelphia also snapped Atlanta’s 13-game win streak at home. The Hawks were looking to get back on track in Game 4 on Monday night and through three quarters of play at State Farm Arena we have a game on our hands as Atlanta and Philadelphia are deadlocked in a tight matchup.

The 76ers’ offense has been on another level this postseason. Joel Embiid continues to be a colossal mismatch for all opponents, but has been especially dominant against the Hawks. The big man is averaging 35.3 points and 10.3 rebounds, and has also scored the third-most points (106) in 76ers’ franchise history through three games of a playoff series. Some bad news for Philly, however, as Danny Green will be sidelined at least two weeks with a calf injury.
