Trae Young's 39 points lead Hawks past Simmons, 76ers

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 career- high 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.

Philadelphia coach Brett Brown called a timeout early in the final period after Young's 3- pointer gave Atlanta a 106- 104 lead. Apparently still unhappy with his team's defense, Brown called another timeout about one minute later after Young's floater pushed the lead to 14 points at 108-94, capping a 9-0 run.

Guduric of the Memphis Grizzlies and Knicks guard Elfrid Payton were suspended one game without pay by the NBA on Thursday for their roles in an altercation between the teams.

New York's Marcus Morris also was fined $ 35,000 not only for his role on the court but for his comments afterward, when he said Grizzlies forward Jae Crowder played with “female tendencies.”

Crowder was fined $ 25,000 for escalating the skirmish, which began when he stole the ball and shot a 3- pointer, causing a frustrated Payton to shove him to the floor while he was in the air with 48 seconds left in the Grizzlies' 127- 106 victory at Madison Square Garden.

Payton was given a flagrant- 2 foul and ejected. He said after the game he would do the same thing again, believing Crowder was disrespecting the game.

Morris, who shoved Grizzlies rookie Ja Morant, later apologized on Twitter for his remarks about women. The Knicks said they understood the NBA's penalties for both their players.
