The Hawks have scored 100-plus points in each of their first 12 games and have hit the century mark in 33 straight regular-season contests.

Atlanta center Clint Capela added 18 points and a season-high 20 rebounds. It was Capela's fifth straight double-digit rebound game and the third time in four games that he grabbed 19-plus rebounds. De'Andre Hunter scored 14 for the Hawks.

Joel Embiid led Philadelphia with 26 points and 13 rebounds. Tyrese Maxey added 15 points and Tobias Harris scored 12. The Sixers shot 20 percent (6 of 30) on 3-pointers, however.

The Sixers tied the game 55-55 at 5:50 of the third quarter, but the Hawks outscored them 25-11 the rest of the frame and led 80-66 at the break -- their biggest advantage of the game to that point. The Sixers played much of the quarter without Embiid, who picked up his fourth personal at 7:07.

Philadelphia cut the lead to 82-74 on an Embiid jumper with 10:32 remaining in the game, only to have Atlanta go on a 12-0 run punctuated by Onyeka Okongwu's slam and take a 20-point lead at 7:57.
