PHILADELPHIA._ After so much uncertainty and so many moments that paralyzed the spectators, it was finally confirmed who is the last classified in the conference finals, in this case in the eastern finals: Atlanta Hawks. They achieved a close victory in Game 7, 106-96, eliminating the Philadelphia 76ers.
Atlanta Hawks has a reality that extrapolated it to the entire NBA and that is that they finally chased away the ghosts of having bet bad in the 2018 Draft, since they had chosen Luka Doncic but exchanged him with the Dallas Mavericks for Trae Young. This decision was one of the most questioned of that year, because Luka is destined to be the heir to the league. However, Young showed that he has the level of being a superstar and commanding the team far beyond what was thought: the conference finals.
In Philadelphia 76ers if they want to continue betting on winning the ring, the main adjustment they will have to make is that of Ben Simmons. Since they started the project between Australian Simmons and star Joel Embiid, something was always missing. This season seemed to be resolved with the arrival of great accessories for them, but the one who failed was Simmons himself, leaving Embiid very alone, who found in the rest of his teammates a company that ended up being scarce and they were left out early.
The game was very even and tough, like the whole series. The defensive and offensive adjustments of both teams were worthy of a chess game by the coaches, where Atlanta ended up prevailing. The top scorer of the game was Joel Embiid with 31 points, but the figure really was on the winning team and it was Trae Young as he scored 21 points and gave 10 assists.
Atlanta Hawks will face the Milwaukee Bucks in the Eastern Conference Finals starting next Wednesday.
