Quentin Grimes scored 35 points, including 17 in the fourth quarter, for the 76ers (22-42), who have lost four of five. Dallas sent Grimes to Philadelphia in exchange for Caleb Martin last month. Risacher’s follow-up, two-handed jam helped the Hawks close the first half strong for a 66-57 lead at the break.

Los Angeles Lakers superstar Luka Doncic is adjusting to his new team after being suddenly traded by the Dallas Mavericks. This felt like an impulsive decision made by Dallas despite health concerns regarding Doncic.

When commenting on the Doncic trade and the Mavericks organization citing worries over his conditioning, Grimes said, "Whatever they’re saying, if he’s 270 [pounds] and he gets to the finals, let him be 270 then. It’s crazy."
