The Atlanta Hawks couldn t get out of Philadelphia fast enough after two consecutive blowout losses to the 76ers.
The Hawks (34-30) remain tied with the Boston Celtics for fifth place in the Eastern Conference and are a half-game ahead of the seventh-seeded Miami Heat as Atlanta returns home to face the Chicago Bulls on Saturday night.
The Hawks, who have lost three in a row overall, also are 1 1/2 games behind the Knicks for fourth place and home-court advantage in an opening-round playoff series.
Coming off a 127-83 loss Wednesday to the 76ers, the Hawks got off to a better start Friday. But the Sixers outscored Atlanta 42-20 in the second quarter, shooting 15-of-28 from the field in the period and cruising from that point to a 126-104 win.
