ATLANTA — Trae Young scored a season-high 43 points, including 14 in overtime, and the Atlanta Hawks outlasted the Brooklyn Nets 147-145 on Wednesday in their second shootout in two nights.
A night after falling 157-152 to the Indiana Pacers, the Hawks showed no fatigue. Atlanta led 45-33 after one quarter and Young had 19 points and six 3-pointers, the most he has made in any period in his career.
"I want to impose my will on the game as much as I can when I go out and play," Young said.
De'Andre Hunter had 25 points and 11 rebounds, and scored nine straight points for the Hawks in the fourth quarter.
