It is time for the 76ers vs Hawks live stream and tonight's game is set to send Philly home, one way or another If they can pull out a win from this game, they will take the series back to the Wells Fargo Center for Game 7 Yes, the 76ers are in a bad spot after two historic second half collapses where they have Joel Embiid and Ben Simmons in positions they need to stave off elimination in this NBA playoff live stream

Over the last two games of this Eastern Conference semifinal, the Philadelphia 76ers looked like two very different teams In the first half of Games 4 and 5, they were dominant They deserved the number one seed they earned in the Eastern Conference In the first half of Games 4 and 5, they were dominant, worthy of the #1 seed they earned in the Eastern Conference They are now 3-2 in the series

In Game 4, the Sixers led by 18 points but lost 103-100 In Game 5, they led by 26 points, but fell behind by 21 points in the fourth quarter and lost 109-106; according to ESPN Stats & Info, Philly is the only team in the last 25 seasons to lose an 18-point lead in two straight playoff games

Behind these games is the Hawks' lack of deterrence This Atlanta team continues to fight no matter what and is now on the brink of its first conference finals appearance in six seasons Trae Young is the heartbeat of the Hawks Despite a shoulder injury, he led Atlanta's second-half charge, scoring a playoff career-high 39 points in Game 5 and heading into Game 6

The Sixers enter Game 6 in Atlanta as 3-point favorites The over/under is 2215

If you are already disconnected and don't have a cable package, you can probably watch this game on Sling TV or Fubo TV But while we love Fubo for many sports, it doesn't have TNT, which is a big no-no for the NBA season

Both ESPN and TNT are included in the $35 Sling Orange package; ABC games are simulcast on ESPN3, Sling Orange includes TNT, ESPN, and ESPN3, and the Sports Extras Pack includes NBA TV

Sling and Fubo are two of our picks for our Best Streaming Services list, even though we don't have ABC (although you can get it on one of the best TV antennas) because these games are on ESPN3, but here opt for Sling
