Trae Young leads Atlanta Hawks to second Eastern Conference finals in 50 years

For only the second time in 50 years, the Atlanta Hawks are heading to the conference finals. The fifth-seeded Hawks knocked off the top-seeded Philadelphia 76ers in Philadelphia, 103-96, in Game 7 to advance.

In a back-and-forth affair, the Hawks ultimately came out on top. The game featured 20 lead changes and 19 ties.

Atlanta pulled off the win despite a horrible shooting night from Trae Young. The third-year point guard who had been so steady so far in the playoffs shot 5-of-23 from the field and 2-of-11 from the line.
