Seth Curry scored 20 points, Tobias Harris and Joel Embiid each added 17 as the Philadelphia 76ers cruised to a victory over the Atlanta Hawks to clinch an Eastern Conference playoff berth.

Shake Milton and Furkan Korkmaz scored 12 apiece and Tyrese Maxey added 11 for the Sixers, who became the second team in the Eastern Conference to secure a post-season spot. The Sixers are currently second in the East, a game behind Brooklyn and 2 1/2 games ahead of third-place Milwaukee with 10 games to play.Atlanta was missing star guard Trae Young, who missed his fourth game since spraining his left ankle on April 21 against New York.

Philadelphia never trailed, jumping out to a 37-17 lead at the end of the first quarter thanks in large part to Curry's 13 points on 5-of-7 from the floor.
