The 76ers squeaked past the Hawks 120-115. The Hawks had no answer for the variance gods tonight. The 76ers carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one; the Hawks answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The 76ers bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the 76ers per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.
