Trae Young's 48 Points Lead Hawks to Game 1 Win Over Bucks

For the third consecutive series, Trae Young went into enemy territory and silenced the building.

Young's torrid postseason run continued in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals on Wednesday night, as he scored a playoff career-high 48 points on 17-for-34 shooting to lead the Hawks to a 116-113 over the Bucks.

Young also chipped in 11 assists with seven rebounds in what was his seventh 30-point game this postseason. His 48 points tie him with Dirk Nowitzki and LeBron James for the fourth-most all time in a conference finals game. He's also the youngest player with at least 40 points and 10 assists at this stage of the playoffs.
