VIDEO: Hawks play tic-tac-toe to beat the buzzer

The Philadelphia 76ers have had the worst offense in the league for three straight seasons, but things are looking up.
Namely, the addition of Ish Smith has brought with him the ability for Brett Brown's club to run simple plays like pick-and-rolls. It's not much, but that's helped the 76ers improve to 27th in offensive rating since Smith joined the team two weeks ago.
The Atlanta Hawks, however, are in another stratosphere offensively, and they proved that by reeling off a sublime passing sequence to beat the buzzer against the Sixers on Thursday.
The Sixers are a few more years and a couple more Ish Smith's away from pulling off something like that.
