Trae Young spoils the brilliance of LeBron James

It was a cracking contest between the Los Angeles Lakers and the Atlanta Hawks as it went into overtime. Trae Young scored a 3-pointer with 7.4 seconds left in overtime and the Hawks handed a 134-132 heartbreaking loss to the Lakers.

Trae Young had 31 pts & 20 ast

To be responsible for ATLEAST 71 points (not including 3s made) is absolutely insane. First player in NBA history with 30/20 and 5 threes made.

Trae Young, who scored 31 points and 20 assists, overshadowed the combined 77-point contribution from LeBron James and Anthony Davis. With the seventh defeat in nine games, the Lakers fell to 12-11.

Los Angeles have managed only two wins in the last 15 days but tonight’s performance was better as they entered after the combined 70-point debacle against the Timberwolves and the Heat. Anthony Davis also improved from his slump in Florida, adding 38 points and 10 rebounds for the Lakers.

Atlanta Hawks’ bench outscored Lakers 65-17 as Hunter chipped in 26 points and Bogdan Bogdanovic added 20. Jalen Johnson scored 12 points and had 10 rebounds while Onyeka Okogwu chipped in 15 off the bench.
