They don’t call him “Ice Trae” for no reason.
With the game clock and shot clock both winding down toward zero, Trae Young hit one of the toughest shots of the season to put his team ahead 132-130 with 1.6 seconds remaining.
That is about as tough of a shot for one to make, and Young made it look like it was just another day at the office.
The game-winning bucket accounted for two of Young’s 34 points in the win. That is now back-to-back games with 34 points for the Hawks guard, who was snubbed of an All-Star Game appearance.
If the season were to end today, the Hawks would be guaranteed at least one game in the play-in tournament as they currently hold the No. 9 seed in the Eastern Conference.
