Hawks, Sixers looking to reverse recent slides

Feb 4, 2008 - 3:17 PM Philadelphia (18-29) at Atlanta (19-24) 7:00 pm EST

ATLANTA (Ticker) - The Atlanta Hawks look for their second straight win and to improve their 13-9 home mark on Monday against the Philadelphia 76ers.

Atlanta was 17-17 through 34 games, but has been struggling in recent weeks. The Hawks are coming off a 104-92 home victory over New Jersey on Saturday. Atlanta was coming off a 1-4 road trip.

"It's good to be back home," Hawks' forward Josh Childress said. "We were on the road for 10 days. We made shots and we got anything we wanted pretty much offensively. That led to a lot of layups, dunks and free throws."

The Sixers have also been struggling recently. Philadelphia, 4-12 in its last 16 games, is coming off a 108-106 loss to Orlando on Friday that ended a two-game winning streak.

"Orlando is one of the better teams in the league and they make a lot of shots," Sixers' coach Maurice Cheeks said. "The screen-and-roll gave us a little trouble. ... Unfortunately, it came down to a play toward the end where they make two foul shots."

Atlanta won the first of the four-game series at Philadelphia, 88-79, in December.
