Hawks fly to push by Sixers

All-Star Trae Young had 39 points and a career-high 18 assists to lead the Atlanta Hawks past Ben Simmons and Philadelphia 127-117 on Thursday night, extending the 76ers’ road woes.

Simmons scored 31 points to lead Philadelphia. Shake Milton had a careerhigh 27 points — 14 more than his previous high — but it wasn’t enough to improve the 76ers’ poor road record. Philadelphia, 22-2 at home, fell to 9-16 in away games.

John Collins had 17 points and 20 rebounds for Atlanta.

The 76ers, who began the night tied with Indiana for fifth place in the Eastern Conference, held their last lead at 21-20 against the Hawks, who are last in the conference.

Raptors 115, Cavaliers 109 — Serge Ibaka scored 26 points, Kyle Lowry had 23 and Toronto got its ninth straight win.

Norman Powell scored eight consecutive points in the final minute after Cleveland cut the lead to 105-104. Powell hit a 3-pointer, scored on a layup after making a steal and sank three foul shots to seal the win.

Powell’s late-game flurry helped the Raptors stifle a comeback bid by the Cavaliers, who trailed 88-75 early in the fourth quarter.

Kevin Love and Collin Sexton each scored 23 points for Cleveland, which has lost nine of 10 overall and nine in a row at home.

Wizards 121, Hornets 107 — Bradley Beal had 34 points, nine rebounds and nine assists after he was snubbed for an All-Star selection.

Miles Bridges led Charlotte with 23 points. Terry Rozier had 21.

The Hornets have lost nine of 10 and 15 of 18.

Beal, who had been named to the All-Star Game the previous two years, failed to make the East team as a reserve in results that were revealed shortly before game time.
