The Philadelphia 76ers used a huge run late in the game to take down the Atlanta Hawks in Tuesday's game 2 matchup in Philly. The series now heads to Atlanta tied at 1-1, and Hawks star Trae Young wasted no time rallying the troops.

Young took to Twitter shortly after the loss, and he's almost single-handedly changed the mood of disappointed Hawks fans:

Despite suffering a 118-102 loss in Game 2, the Hawks accomplished what they set out to do to open the series. By emerging with a key win in Game 1, Atlanta was able to steal home-court advantage in the series. They now head to their home floor where they will look to defeat the mighty Sixers in Games 3 and 4.

Young had an off shooting night on Tuesday, going 6-of-16 from the field and just 1-of-7 from distance. The Hawks star did manage 21 points, three rebounds, 11 assists, and a steal in 38 minutes of action.

In spite of the loss, Trae Young and Co. are still just three games away from booking their place in the Eastern Conference Finals. This is anything but guaranteed at this point, though, and the Sixers are as tough an opponent as they come.

The Hawks have already proven that they are a legitimate threat in the East, but they clearly have no intentions of settling with this. Atlanta is going for it this season, and Trae Young's play will be the most important factor for the Hawks the rest of the way.
