Trae Young thought it was over. Then the Miami Heat scored the game’s next 22 points.
That was the outcome of the Atlanta Hawks star’s boisterous statement after putting his team up 117-111 with less than a minute left by setting up an Alex Len lay-up. The Heat — showing their identity of toughness, grit, etc. is well-earned — ended up winning in overtime, by a score of 135-121.
So basically, the Heat scored six straight to tie the game, on 3-pointer from Duncan Robinson and Jimmy Butler, then blew the doors off the Hawks in overtime by scoring the period’s first 16 points.
