Hawks 95, 76ers 79: Kyle Korver and Paul Millsap scored 17 points apiece to lead host Atlanta to its eighth straight victory.
DeMarre Carroll collected 14 points and 11 rebounds for his first double-double of the season for Atlanta, which has its longest winning streak since 1997. Mike Muscala added 12 points and seven rebounds in 19 minutes off the bench and Al Horford scored 11 points for the Hawks.
Alexey Shved scored 13 points in 16 minutes off the bench to lead Philadelphia, which has dropped five straight against the Hawks. Luc Richard Mbah a Moute had 12 points and five steals while reserves Jerami Grant and K.J. McDaniels each added 10 points for the 76ers.
The Hawks slogged through the first half shooting at a 38.8 percent clip but managed to take a 47-38 lead into the break behind 11 points from Korver. Philadelphia got within seven in the third period and kept Atlanta from pulling away, trailing 68-58 entering the fourth.
The 76ers couldn't close the gap as they went scoreless for 3 1/2 minutes to open the final stanza and never got within single digits again. Nerlens Noel's bucket made it 74-62 with 7:54 left, but the Hawks got a jumper from Muscala at the other end and Korver hit a 3-pointer to stretch the margin to 17, and Atlanta cruised from there.
