The Hawks’ rookie point guard was the victim of the desperation heave by the Celtics’ Jayson Tatum in the final of the Skills Challenge at NBA All-Star Saturday Night in Charlotte.
Young advanced to the final with two wins. He had a sizable lead on Tatum as he approached the final 3-point attempt. As Young was squaring up from the line, Tatum had his half-court heave go in ahead of Young’s attempt.
Young advanced to the finals with a victory over, of course, the Mavericks’ Luka Doncic. Doncic won hist first-round matchup over the Laker’s Kyle Kuzma.
