The Atlanta Hawks marched into the Milwaukee Bucks in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals on Wednesday after a mammoth effort from Trae Young, who continues to thrive on the big stage. He dropped 48 points to lead them to victory on the road– the third straight road Game 1 victory for the Hawks.
During the game, he absolutely disrespected the Bucks time and time again. Here are some of the best moments of Young's antics.
