Trae Young leaves the game with an apparent leg injury. Hope it's nothing serious 🙏🏽

9:02, 3Q -- Hawks call timeout after the Hawks don't get back and allow a Michael Porter Jr. 3 that cuts their lead to 70-64

4 steals in 18 minutes for Dyson Daniels water is wet

Hawks started Nickeil Alexander-Walker in the second half.

I'm sure you can find people that will speculate, but I won't pretend to know how bad the Trae Young injury is. That mechanism (player falling into the leg) generally isn't great and a listing of "sprain" has an incredibly wide range of outcomes.

25-point turnaround after the first couple minutes

HALF: Hawks 64, Nets 51 No Trae Young in the 2Q but the Hawks still put up 30 points. Seven assists on 11 made field goals. Luke Kennard and Jalen Johnson both have 12 points.

I enjoy the "throw it to Porzingis" offense when the shot clock gets under :05. He is always just a real option to get at least a mediocre shot up no matter where he is.

Crash those boards JJ!

If that is a foul on Gueye, the refs did a poor job not calling it earlier, because the end of the play was him getting pushed with two hands into falling on Trae.
