Hawks 107, 76ers 96: Jeff Teague collected 27 points and 11 assists and Al Horford chipped in 21 points and 12 rebounds as host Atlanta snapped a three-game losing streak.
Anthony Tolliver added 21 points and eight boards off the bench and Josh Smith scored 13 points for the Hawks, who ended a six-game skid against Philadelphia.
Damien Wilkins scored 21 points and fellow reserve Dorell Wright added 20 points and nine rebounds for the 76ers, who have lost 10 of their last 11 games. Thaddeus Young contributed 16 points and Jrue Holiday chipped in 11 points and 12 assists for Philadelphia.
The Hawks missed their first seven shots and fell behind 8-0, but they heated up quickly after that. Teague's 3-pointer tied it at 12 with 4:09 left in the first quarter, and Kyle Korver's jumper gave Atlanta the lead for good a minute later.
Atlanta stayed hot in the second quarter and extended the margin to 59-47 at halftime. The Sixers pulled within 68-65 on a pair of Wright free throws with 5:37 left in the third, but a 13-0 Hawks run thwarted the comeback effort.
GAME NOTEBOOK: Korver went 1-for-3 from 3-point range and has hit at least one 3-pointer in 53 consecutive games, the longest streak in franchise history and the longest active run in the NBA. He finished with nine points. … Philadelphia dropped to 2-13 in the second game of back-to-back sets and was swept in a back-to-back for the seventh time this season after losing to Boston at home Tuesday. … Horford has seven double-doubles in his last 11 games.
