Atlanta Hawks' Trae Young silences raucous Madison Square Garden crowd with game winner

Atlanta Hawks guard Trae Young played in his first career playoff game on Sunday evening. His teammate Lou Williams was playing in his 72nd.

As the Hawks stood in the huddle with 9.8 seconds left -- with the screams of 15,000 New York Knicks fans raining down upon them -- Williams had a simple piece of advice for Young.

"Don't pass the ball."

Not only did Young follow that advice, but he knocked down the game-winning floater to earn himself a spot in Madison Square Garden lore as a villain of the home squad.
