The Philadelphia 76ers defeated the Atlanta Hawks in overtime, 136-131, at State Farm Arena on Friday night.

Both teams checked in looking to build some momentum prior to the postseason, but the 76ers (53-28) rested their entire starting five.

Nevertheless, the short-handed visitors clawed all the way back during the second half and forced the extra period with a Jaden Springer dunk with just over 25 seconds remaining. In overtime, Georges Niang came through with a critical 24-foot three-pointer with 12.1 seconds remaining to give the Sixers their final five-point margin of victory.
