We end up being used to Atlanta. The Hawks ended their series of eight defeats on Monday by winning in Detroit thanks to a huge shot from Trae Young in the last moments of the meeting. Deja-vu, certainly, to the point that the coach Quin Snyder was not even questioned only once on the decisive shoot of his leader, who nevertheless avoided the Georgia team an extension and a possible disillusionment .
However, there was something to rave from the new feat of Young when the top of the hourglass is almost entirely empty. Atlanta led 12 points in the last quarter, before seeing the pistons come back to a suffocating money time. The kind of moments that Trae Young loves, for the better and for the worst. The leader sometimes forced losing two balls blowing in the end of the end, or by being sanctioned with an offensive fault. But if the ball has also left his hands, it was because “Ice Trae” was on fire, author of 17 of his 34 points in the last quarter, at 5/7 in shooting and 5/6 at Free throws.

“” We shouldn't have had to live this moment to be honest Nuança trae Young just after the meeting at the Hawks Fanduel Sports Network Southeast diffuser. “” We had a rather nice lead but the pistons continued to fight again and again. It was a match that we had to win. And we did it, no matter how. »»
The highlight of the show was for the last possession, at 130 everywhere. Well taken by Malik Beasley in one-of-one, Trae Young tried to get closer to the circle on his left hand, without success, before refocusing to try a fadeaway shot and total imbalance in the buzzer of the clock of the 24 seconds. Ficelle, 130-132 folded match. “Malik made a great defensively job,” noted the piston coach JB Bickerstaff at a press conference. “” Once again, Trae Young is one of the best scorers in our league, but Malik was totally on him, it is a very well disputed shot. He just put one more shot. »»
Young also allowed himself a celebration worthy of Allen Iverson, walking over Beasley, also fallen to the ground after this shot.

Young Multi-Recidist
Young is not at his first try. Jazz had paid in particular to see, bowing on a prayer in the middle of the field at the start of the year. Since 1997 and the introduction of detailed NBA shots, only Pau Gasol (17/37) and Anthony Davis (19/40) are more skillful than Young (19/42) in shots to lead or equalize to 24 seconds or less from the end of a match.
This season, no player has scored more points (106) or made more assists (27) in the “clutch”, defined by the NBA as the matches with five maximum differences in the last five minutes, this at 45.7 % 3-point (16/35). This good habit is beneficial for the Hawks, winners of 13 of their 24 games with such situations this season, a percentage of success far higher than their overall assessment (23-27). “It is a lot of good to put an end to this series” did not hide the evening hero, after the eight defeats on which Atlanta remained, bringing the Hawks back in the row (9e).
