He’s Backkk! Hawks Trae Young returns in epic win over Spurs

By Yakiri Thomas / November 6, 2019

Last night Trae Young made his return to the court after rolling his ankle last week against the Heat.

Young came back with a vengeance showing true leadership down the stretch as he led the Hawks to a 108-100 victory against the Spurs on Tuesday at State Farm Arena.

The tale of two halves- In the first half Young put only one point on the board. At the second half Young secured a double-double in 30 minutes of play, scoring a game-high 29 points, to go along with a season-high 13 assists, two rebounds and two steals .

Trae Young also tied Tyrone Corbin for 23rd on the Hawks all-time three pointers made list with 175.

Jabari Parker stepped into the starting roll and collected 19 points, adding 8 rebounds.

De’Andre Hunter finished with a career-high 16 points and 8 rebounds.

At the post game presser Head Coach Lloyd Pierce said, “Trae Young’s pretty good. I thought he was, I thought he did a great job of really leading our guys down the stretch. We talked at halftime and he’s such a competitor and he’s always hard on himself. He’s 0-8 at halftime and he’s got eight assists, and just part of his growth and leadership is understanding how to play 48 minutes and really impact the game in a variety of ways.”

Young on returning to action after missing a game, “It felt good. It felt good just being able to be a piece and help my team. I’m just glad to be able to play again.”
