How the Hawks move forward in absence of Trae Young

The Atlanta Hawks entered Wednesday night’s fixture against the New York Knicks knowing that it was, arguably, their biggest game of the season. With the Eastern Conference standings as tight as they are and the Knicks and Hawks right in the thick of it, entering Wednesday night as the 4-5 matchup.

The Hawks held a 95-87 lead in the latter stages of the third quarter when Trae Young went down with an ankle injury that looked severe, as Young had to be helped off of the floor and back to the locker-room. Young’s absence was felt in the fourth quarter as the Knicks came back and took the fourth quarter lead and, really, should’ve sealed the deal in regulation but thanks to the heroics of Bogdan Bogdanovic to tie the game with a three-pointer the Hawks took the game to overtime.
