Dyson Daniels overtakes Magic Johnson to reach historic milestone in Hawks' victory

The all-time single-season steals record belongs to Alvin Robertson, who tallied 301 in the 1985-86 campaign. Daniels is on pace to surpass Michael Jordan’s 223 steals from 1990-91, which would place him among the top 25 in NBA history.

Daniels wasn't the only Hawk making an impact. Georges Niang delivered 20 points, sinking five three-pointers, while Onyeka Okongwu added 14 points and nine rebounds.

For Philadelphia, Quentin Grimes led the way with 26 points and six assists, while rookie Justin Edwards contributed 22. Ricky Council IV and Guerschon Yabusele added 14 and 11 points, respectively.

Despite Daniels’ defensive brilliance, Atlanta’s offensive efficiency played a key role in the win. The Hawks shot 55.2 percent from the field and knocked down 17 three-pointers. 

Risacher, steadily improving in his rookie season, continued to showcase his shooting form, hitting 3-of-7 from deep. He shot 44 percent from beyond the arc in February and is connecting at a 42.2 percent clip in March on nearly six attempts per game.

The Hawks extended their winning streak to three games, improving to 35-36 and holding the seventh seed in the Eastern Conference — the highest play-in spot. Meanwhile, the 76ers' struggles continued, falling to 23-48 with their fourth straight loss in what has been a challenging, injury-riddled season.
