Trae Young knows how to make winning plays.

Midway through the fourth quarter in the Hawks' 129-127 win over the Philadelphia 76ers, James Ennis shot a three from the left corner. The shot missed, and Joel Embiid lined up to make a rebound on the opposite side of the rim. But as the 7-foot center took a step back to track the ball, Young stepped in behind him to jump for the same rebound. Sensing competition, Embiid tried to tap the ball back to a teammate but bumped it further than he expected, and the 76ers lost the ball out of bounds.
