The Philadelphia 76ers fell 132-123 on Monday night to the Atlanta Hawks, through no fault of Quentin Grimes, who led the floor with 35 points in the contest.

Quentin Grimes scored 35 points, including 17 in the fourth quarter, for the 76ers (22-42), who have lost four of five. Dallas sent Grimes to Philadelphia in exchange for Caleb Martin last month.
