A season-high 27-point haul from Dyson Daniels has willed Atlanta past a Paul George-inspired Philadelphia for a crucial NBA win.
The Hawks held off the 76ers 120-117 on Sunday (Monday AEDT) in Atlanta, George's 35 points on seven-of-10 three point shooting almost dragging the visitors to a comeback win.
But Australian guard Daniels and his Hawks mates, keen to make up for a 142-115 loss to the struggling Detroit two days earlier, had the answers to improve to 15-12 - good enough for ninth place in the Eastern Conference.
