Daily News | Sixers vs. Atlanta Hawks takeaways: Statement victory, Jaden Springer’s emergence, Mac McClung’s nerves
The 76ers are either deeper than we thought or the Atlanta Hawks have major problems.
The Hawks had two-time All-Star point guard Trae Young, one-time All-Star guard Dejounte Murray, and standout power forward John Collins going up against reserves, who had been outplayed in recent games.“This is an important game for our role players to kind of come out and prove that they’re good basketball players and start feeling good,” said coach Doc Rivers. “Going into the playoffs, a win like this when you have your top [six] guys out is huge for you. Nothing with Atlanta.
The coach loved that Springer pulled up to the three-point line with confidence. That’s because the coach feels that’s his next step to becoming a great player. “I just want to show them I can go out there and compete,” Springer said. “Help the team win whatever way they need to. That has always been my mindset.”The Blue Coats clinched the G League championship in Texas at around 11 p.m. Central Time. He got back to the hotel around midnight.
