Matchup History
The Philadelphia 76ers and the Atlanta Hawks first met all the way back in 1949, when the Sixers were still in Syracuse, NY as the Nationals, and the Hawks were based out of Moline, IL and known as the Tri-Cities Blackhawks.
Since then, the Hawks have seen superstars like Bob Petit, “Pistol” Pete Maravich, Lenny Wilkins, Dominique Wilkins, and Dikembe Mutombo come through the “ATL”, but still haven’t been able to conjure up a winning record against the 76ers. Through 387 regular season games, the Sixers earned a 196-191 record, thanks in part to two career best performances: Julius Erving dished out his high number in assists (10 on March 5, 1982) and Charles Barkley dropped his points record (47 on February 9, 1988) both against the Hawks.
In the playoffs, these two squads have met in 1980, 1982, and, most recently, in 2021, with the Sixers holding a 9-5 overall record through 14 postseason games.
The 76ers won 3 of their 4 matchups against the Hawks in the 2022-23 season. In the 2023-24 season, the Sixers took the first win against the Hawks in Atlanta on November 17. The Sixers suited up against the Hawks at the Wells Fargo Center on December 8, winning 125-114. Embiid and Maxey combined for 68 points. The Hawks took the W in their last two matchups of the season.
The Sixers and Hawks matchup in three games during the 2024-25 season. Their first two games are on the road in Atlanta on March 10 and 23. The Sixers host the Hawks in a late season game on Friday, April 11.
