Trae Young played one of the best games of his life, but it wasn’t enough on Friday night as the Chicago Bulls outlasted the Hawks 168-161 in a four overtime slugfest at State Farm Arena.
The Hawks rookie hit a go-ahead shot with 2.2 seconds left in regulation and a game-tying shot at the end of the first overtime en route to a career-high 49 points, but couldn’t find the finishing touches. He played 56 minutes.
Zach LaVine’s driving layup in the fourth overtime put the Bulls up 166-161 with just over 30 seconds to play.
Young finished with 16 assists and eight rebounds to complement his career-high point total.
