Trae Young explodes for 49 points, Hawks come up short against Bulls in historic tilt

The Atlanta Hawks were unable to emerge as winners in what was a spectacular encounter with the Chicago Bulls on Friday night at State Farm Arena, falling short 168-161 in fourth (yes, FOURTH!) overtime.

Trae Young set all sort of records (we’ll try touch on these later) as he went off for a new career-high of 49 points, 16 assists and eight rebounds in 55 minutes.

For the Bulls, Zach LaVine scored a career-high 47 points, nine rebounds and nine assists, also coming in 55 minutes.

Well then, let’s try and make sense of this one, shall we?
