Rivers couldn't find a way to stop the Hawks' momentum and pulled his starters with less than five minutes remaining.
Young, who made each of his 10 free throws, and Embiid were the exceptions to overall scoring woes until late in the third quarter. The 76ers struggled to find scoring help for Embiid.
