Hawks’ Trae Young Sets Cringeworthy NBA Record in Loss to Celtics

In Trae Young’s first postseason experience two years ago, the point guard exploded onto the NBA scene, leading the Hawks to the Eastern Conference finals. However, Young has not been nearly as effective lately in the playoffs as he was in his first two series against the Knicks and 76ers.

On Saturday, in Game 1 of Atlanta’s first-round series against Boston, Young shot 5-of-18 from the field and 1-of-5 from three-point range for just 16 points. That means that in Young’s last seven playoff games, he has shot 8-for-49 from three, which just happens to be the fewest number of makes on that many attempts in any seven-game stretch in NBA playoff history.
