The 76ers posted another lopsided victory over an undermanned squad.

Friday’s 126-104 victory over the Atlanta Hawks marked the second time the Sixers routed the banged-up Hawks in two days. They also pounded the injured and tanking Oklahoma City Thunder on Monday.

But here’s a look at Friday night’s best and worst awards.

Best performance

Dwight Howard gets this on a night Trae Young dominated. Young finished with a game-high 32 points in blowout loss for the Hawks. Howard gets this for having a hand in the victory. The Sixers reserve center scored a season-high 19 points to go with 11 rebounds and two blocks. He made 8 of 11 baskets.

Worst performance

Lou Williams gets this. The former Sixer and Hawks reserve guard finished with two points while missing all seven shot attempts. He was a minus-24 in 22 minutes, 10 seconds.

Best defensive performance

Matisse Thybulle gets this once again. The Sixers reserve guard finished with a game-high four steals. Thybulle also finished with 10 points and five assists.
