As the Hawks nursed the remains of a once-healthy lead Monday, Trae Young exchanged handoffs with Bogdan Bogdanovic at the edge of the logo with 2:45 remaining in the game. Then he darted around a pick from John Collins. Trae, playing in his third NBA season, knew that Detroit point guard Killian Hayes, playing in his third NBA game, was trailing the play from behind. In fact, Trae – like the cagey veteran that he already is – did everything in his power to get Hayes behind him, snaking his drive back behind the original screen into the middle of the lane.
