Atlanta Hawks were defeated on their home court by the Brooklyn Nets with a score of 113-114 in one of the most unpredictable games in NBA history.
A phenomenal match unfolded in Atlanta. The two teams were neck-and-neck throughout the entire game, entering the record books. Notably, the teams exchanged the lead 43 times, the most since this type of statistic began to be tracked in the NBA in the 1996/97 season. It all came down to the final seconds of the game.
The ball was initially in Trae Young’s hands, who made a three-pointer over Dennis Smith Jr. and gave his team the lead. Young displayed his classic “Ice Trae” celebration, but a cold shower followed. Mikal Bridges took responsibility, shot a mid-range shot over De’Andre Hunter, and secured the victory for his team.
The top scorer for the winning team was Bridges, leading the scoring with 32 points. Cameron Johnson added 17. On the other side, in the Atlanta Hawks Young was outstanding with 30 points, while Sadiq Bey contributed 21.

Philadelphia 76ers defeated the Washington Wizards on the road with a score of 126-131.
The 76ers are slowly finding their form again. The team that had an extremely turbulent summer and a challenging start to the season with James Harden is gradually getting into their rhythm, and Joel Embiid continues to deliver outstanding performances. In the clash with Washington, they faced more challenges than many fans expected. The Wizards played exceptionally well in the first half, even holding a two-point lead.
However, the crucial factor was the third quarter, where Philadelphia managed to pull ahead by two possessions. The guests held onto that lead until the end of the game, primarily thanks to the brilliant performance of their center and last year’s MVP.
Embiid led all scorers with an impressive 50 points, along with 13 rebounds. Tyrese Maxey followed with 26 points. On the other side, Jordan Poole stood out, scoring 23 points.
