The Atlanta Hawks defeated the Philadelphia 76ers 125–116 on March 7 at State Farm Arena, with J. Johnson's 35 points leading a balanced offensive attack. Atlanta's shooting efficiency proved decisive, as the Hawks connected on 55.4 percent from the field and made 13 three-pointers compared to Philadelphia's 10. The 76ers came out hot, scoring 38 points in the first quarter, but Atlanta's second-quarter surge—38 points—shifted momentum decisively. Philadelphia's third quarter was particularly costly, yielding just 21 points as Atlanta's defense tightened, holding a 121.4 offensive rating while limiting the 76ers to 112.7. T. Maxey paced Philadelphia with 31 points and Q. Grimes added 26, but the 76ers' 19 turnovers and 36 rebounds proved insufficient against Atlanta's 32 assists and rebounding advantage. The final score fell 8.5 points below the Vegas total of 234.5. Atlanta's second-half dominance underscores their growing defensive versatility as the playoff picture crystallizes.
