Game 6 of the series between the Atlanta Hawks and Philadelphia 76ers could not have been more tense. The Hawks found themselves up 3-2 in the series and had zero interest in needing to fly back to Philly to secure a berth in the Eastern Conference Finals. The Sixers, meanwhile, were in a win-or-go-home situation, and considering the myriad of questions that seem to always surround the franchise, losing as the 1-seed would have led to a potentially precarious offseason.
Basically, it was sensational television, to the point that we even had something completely insane happen that was not a fight between Joel Embiid and John Collins (although that happened, too). With 1:59 remaining, the Sixers tried to inbound the ball, but almost immediately, the lights went out at State Farm Arena.
