Trae Young stood at the free-throw line and chewed on his mouthpiece as loud chants of “overrated” rained down at TD Garden on Wednesday night.
The two-time All-Star guard had another rough shooting night during Atlanta’s 119-106 loss to Boston. He went 9-22 from the field, including 2-8 from 3-pt. range, with five turnovers.
He was noticeably better than in Game 1, when he had as many turnovers (five) as made field goals. And the Hawks seemed more consistently competitive than they were on Saturday, although the final margin of defeat was larger.
