Atlanta All-Star Trae Young can score from just about anywhere.
So Mike Conley knew he was in for a busy night.
“It’s obvious the skills he has and how he can stretch the floor and make plays for his team,” the Utah Jazz point guard said before Friday’s game. “He’s the engine that gets their team going. He’s the initiator on the offensive side. We have to eliminate the easy ones and make him take tough shots, try to get the ball out of his hands as much as possible. Make the others beat us.”
Conley and the Jazz did just that, effectively shutting Young down in a 116-92 win at Vivint Arena.
