It was just one game, just one preseason game. But Trae Young delivered a thrilling finish to the Hawks 130-127 win over the Spurs in the team’s fourth and next-to-last preseason game.
With just a few seconds remaining in a tie game, Young, standing thirty feet from the basket, caught Spurs’ guard Bryn Forbes with his head turned expecting a screen. Young launched the deep shot that caught nothing but net. A miss from Forbes at the other end as the clock expired sealed the win in a game that means nothing in the standings but should be a confidence boost for a young Hawks team.
