The Atlanta Hawks are slowly on the rise.

Jalen Johnson powered a big win for Atlanta, with the Hawks needed two overtimes to put away the Philadelphia 76ers, 142-134, Monday (PH time) at the Xfinity Mobile Arena in Philadelphia.

Johnson scored a career-high 41 points, with 14 rebounds, and seven assists, including the two free throws that forced the second overtime.

 

 

After drawing a foul, Johnson calmly sank both game-tying free throws with 0.3 seconds left.

Nickeil Alexander-Walker added another 34 points for Atlanta, as the Hawks are now 13-8 in the East.

Tyrese Maxey got 44 points and was the one to force the first overtime with a clutch three.

The 76ers dropped to 10-9 with the loss.
