The Atlanta Hawks won their 17th game of the season and their second straight overall Saturday night, defeating the Mavericks 111-107. It was a comeback victory for the young Hawks, who trailed by 10-12 points for most of the game, and began the fourth quarter down nine.
Trae Young was doubled or tripled for most of the game, and failed to do much offensively in the first half. John Collins and Cam Reddish picked up the slack to keep the Hawks in the game.
It wasn’t until the fourth that the Hawks’ All-Star guard got going, knocking down threes and raising his assist total up by setting up his supporting cast.
