Trae Young Pours In Season-High 43 Points Wednesday
1 year agoAtlanta Hawks point guard Trae Young scored a season-high 43 points as the team ended a three-game slide with a 147-145 overtime victory against the Nets. Young has struggled to score the basketball efficiently all season, and he finished just 12-for-31 from the field here, but eight of Young's makes came from downtown, and he picked up a lot of free points at the charity stripe with an 11-for-13 effort. The Hawks star fell one assist short of his ninth double-double of the year, adding four rebounds and two steals to his account. Despite his poor shooting, Young has remained a walking double-double this season, and he's also upped his defensive game by averaging a career-high 1.7 steals.
