Trae Young’s Game-Winning Floater Lifts Hawks Over Heat in Game 3

Hawks star point guard Trae Young had trouble shooting the ball in Friday night’s Game 3 vs. the Heat. But with 4.4 seconds to play, Young sunk a game-winning floater to lift Atlanta to a 111–110 victory over Miami.

After losing two straight games to open the series in Miami, it was desperation time for the Hawks, who needed a home victory to avoid a 3–0 deficit in the Eastern Conference first-round matchup.

It was not easy for Atlanta, who trailed by as many as 16 points in the second half against Miami. Friday marked the third-largest playoff comeback in the last 25 seasons for the Hawks, per ESPN Stats & Info.
