Trae Young kept his promise to Dejounte Murray as he ensured the Atlanta Hawks lived to fight another day in the NBA Play-Offs. The point guard scored 38 points in his side’s 119-117 victory over the Boston Celtics team at the TD Garden.
The Celtics appeared to have the game in control having held a 13-point lead in the fourth quarter but Young thrives off the jeers of the opposition crowd, and he left home fans stunned with a dagger through their hearts by sinking a game-winning three pointer that will see the series head back to Atlanta.
Murray, who was suspended for the game after colliding with a referee at the end of game four, revealed a bold statement from his teammate. Watching from home, the 2022 NBA All-Star took to Instagram stories after Young’s pivotal final shot and said: “You a f**king killa boy!!!!!!! Trae Young told me be ready for Game 6 cause we going back to the A!!!!!!”
