BOSTON — As the noise level inside TD Garden reached its crescendo, Trae Young caught the inbounds pass from Saddiq Bey with 7.5 seconds left, jogged the ball up the floor, sized up Jaylen Brown, and knocked down a deep stepback 3-pointer.
The clutch bucket put Atlanta up by two with 1.8 seconds remaining, and the Hawks were able to hold on for a 119-117 win in Game 5 of the Eastern Conference First Round.
By this point, Celtics fans were on round two of their “[Expletive] Trae Young chants.” The first murmurs came from the balcony after Young drew an offensive foul on Brown in the first half.
