The Atlanta Hawks returned to winning ways as they ended a three-game losing streak, knocking off the San Antonio Spurs 108-100 on Tuesday night.
Trae Young returned from his ankle injury (suffered last week against the Miami Heat) and returned in a big way, scoring 29 points while dishing out 13 assists, while Jabari Parker added 19 points. Both players obviously have a big role to play in the coming months, but we’ll talk about this in a minute.
For the Spurs — who have started the season strong — were led by (the mid-range master) DeMar DeRozan’s 22 points while Bryn Forbes added 17 points to the Spurs’ cause.
