New York Knicks Vs Atlanta Hawks, NBA Cup Quarter-final: Trae Young All-round Performance Leads Side To Semis – In Pics

Sports

Trae Young was dribbling out the clock Wednesday night when he leaned down toward New York’s center-court logo and pretended he was shooting dice. When he’s at Madison Square Garden, always bet on Young. The court was orange this time, but otherwise it looked and felt like the 2021 playoffs. The Knicks had just been eliminated, and Young was celebrating in the middle of their arena. The star guard had 22 points and 11 assists, leading the Hawks to a 108-100 victory in the NBA Cup quarterfinals. They will head to Las Vegas to play the Milwaukee Bucks on Saturday. Young emerged as a villain to Knicks fans in 2021, when New York reached the postseason for the first time in eight years and drew the Hawks in the first round. They profanely taunted him in Game 1, even mocking his hair, but the point guard got the last word.
