Trae Young scored 26 points, including the first three baskets of Atlanta's dominant start to the second half, and the Hawks beat the short-handed Philadelphia 76ers 112-94 on Monday night.

Young, who was held to a combined 22 points in his last two games, regained his scoring touch. He opened the second half with a jumper before adding back-to-back layups. 

"We were just playing fast, getting back to what we do and the shots were just going in," Young said. "You could see the confidence with everybody rolling."

Young's spurt keyed Atlanta's 15-2 run to open the half. The Hawks stretched a 65-50 halftime advantage to an 80-52 lead with the run.

"I think the most important part of the game was how we came out after the break, and Trae was a big part of that," said Hawks coach Lloyd Pierce.

Atlanta led 95-65 late in the third before Young and other starters sat out the final period.

Joel Embiid led Philadelphia with 24 points and 11 rebounds. Isaiah Joe had 18 points.

The Sixers used nine players. That may have seemed like an abundance of depth after Philadelphia was limited to only seven players in Saturday's 115-103 home loss to Denver. Forward Mike Scott (knee) and Embiid (back tightness) returned to add depth.

Philadelphia is far from full strength. Ben Simmons (sore left knee) was again held out. The depth problems will continue through the week after Seth Curry tested positive for COVID-19 on Thursday.

Tobias Harris and reserves Shake Milton, Matisse Thybulle and Vincent Poirier were again held out due to COVID-19 protocols. The NBA called off two games on Monday due to the virus. 

"No one is going to feel sorry for us," said Sixers coach Doc Rivers. "We’ve got to try to win these games. We’ve in a tough spot with COVID. ... I have a sneaking feeling a lot of teams are going to have this problem."

Rookie Tyrese Maxey, who scored 39 points in his first start against Denver, had 15.
