During the past two games in this series, the 76ers have averaged 103 points and the Hawks have averaged 106. Both games went Under. The oddsmaker has come down a little on the total for this Game 6, but not enough.

The 76ers ranked No. 2 in defensive efficiency during the regular season. They are going to be cautious and defensive-minded here after blowing monster leads during the past two games. 

Atlanta became a respectable defensive club when Nate McMillan took over. This has carried into the playoffs where the Under has cashed in seven of the Hawks' 10 games. 

The pace has slowed in the last two games to where possessions are less than 99. I don't expect any changes in style of play. If there is, it would be even slower tempo and more defensive intensity as the 76ers try to stave off elimination.
