Trae Young Goes Off For Season-High 44 Points
2 years agoAtlanta Hawks point guard Trae Young produced a season-high 44 points in Friday's losing effort against Houston, shooting 13-for-28 from the field and 4-for-10 from outside with a 14-for-18 record at the charity stripe. Dejounte Murray supported him with 39 points, but the rest of the crew had a very disappointing evening. Young added five assists to his line with one steal and four turnovers in 38 minutes. The star guard has been on some tear lately, averaging 34.3 points in his last four outings. He didn't really share the ball well on Friday, but Young has also notched a good amount of assists during the hot streak. Miami and Boston will have a crack at stopping him next. These two are tough defensive teams and Young will likely find it hard to keep his scoring streak going, although he had a decent 27-point outing with nine assists against the Celtics earlier this month.
