Patience was a virtue for Trae Young with the game on the line. The two-time Atlanta Hawks All-Star wanted the ball in his hands on the final possession of regulation and showed zero interest in overtime as he got Mikal Bridges to leap out of his shoes with a perfectly-timed pump fake before draining a foul-line pull-up at the buzzer. The game-winner tied a bow on a huge night for Young, who posted a game-high 34 points along with three rebounds, eight assists and two steals in leading his squad to a 129-127 win over the Brooklyn Nets on February 26, 2023. In addition to his noted scoring prowess, the well-rounded Young led the league in assists for the second consecutive season. · Feb 26, 2023
