Dyson Daniels posted a season-high 27 points against the Philadelphia 76ers<\/a> and led the Atlanta Hawks to their 15th victory of the season.<\/p>\n

But Josh Giddey<\/a> and the Chicago Bulls<\/a> came crashing down to earth with a second loss this season to the West’s last-placed New Orleans Pelicans.<\/p>\n

In the wake of the Bondi Beach terror attack on Sunday night<\/a>, Giddey made a tribute to the victims with a handwritten note on the shoes he wore on Monday’s (AEDT) game. <\/p>\n

Daniels scored 27 points, a season best, against the 76s to led his team to a 120-117 victory.<\/p>\n

His 27 points came from 13-of-19 shooting, and he added 10 rebounds, four assists, a steal and two blocks in 39 minutes.<\/p>\n

The Aussie star scored with just over a minute remaining to give the Hawks a 118-114 lead.<\/p>\n

Quentin Grimes responded with a three-pointer and had a chance to force overtime, but the Philadelphia guard’s next three-point attempt was off.<\/p>\n

The Hawks narrowly escaped, handing them their 15th win of the season.<\/p>\n

For the Bulls, the return of Zion Williamson to the Pelicans line up caused trouble as the forward scored 18 points on Monday (AEDT).<\/p>\n

New Orleans pulled away late and bested Chicago, 114-104.<\/p>\n

With seven points in the final four minutes, Williamson was unstoppable after he joined the game in the first quarter.<\/p>\n

He punctuated his return with a flashy dunk with 37 seconds remaining to seal the victory.<\/p>\n

\"Josh<\/p>\n

Chicago lost for the eighth time in nine games. Giddey had 11 points, seven rebounds and five assists in the defeat.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Dyson Daniels posted a season-high 27 points against the Philadelphia 76ers and led the Atlanta Hawks to their…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":349501,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[574],"tags":[64,63,726,85],"class_list":["post-349500","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-basketball","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-basketball","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/349500","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=349500"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/349500\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/349501"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=349500"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=349500"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=349500"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
