ATLANTA (AP) — The NBA’s top playoff seeds, Philadelphia and Utah, are facing elimination. The 76ers have blown leads of 18 and 26 points in back-to-back losses to the Atlanta Hawks, who now lead the Eastern Conference semifinal series 3-2. Seth Curry says the 76ers are “grown men” and should not have psychological scars from losing big leads in back-to-back losses. Led by Trae Young, the Hawks are attempting to advance to a conference final for only the second time since moving to Atlanta in 1968. The Jazz also facing a must-win game as the No. 1 seed in the Western Conference against the Los Angeles Clippers.
