After a historic comeback in Philadelphia on Wednesday night, the Atlanta Hawks found themselves just one victory from the Eastern Conference Finals. To their benefit was a rabid sellout crowd in State Farm Arena rooting on the home team. Their young star would shine, but ultimately the supporting cast couldn’t lift the required weight, and Philadelphia was able to grind out a 104-99 victory to send the series to a Game 7.
The good in this game starts and ends with Trae Young’s stellar play throughout the night. Young ended with 34 points on 13-for-30 shooting, including 5-for-10 (50%) from three, and added 12 assists and 5 rebounds.
