Trae Young's Clutch 3-Pointer Secures Hawks' OT Win Over Lakers

Young recorded 31 points and 20 assists, leading Atlanta to its sixth consecutive victory in a high-scoring overtime thriller.

Trae Young hit a decisive 3-pointer with 7.4 seconds left in overtime, lifting the Atlanta Hawks to a 134-132 victory over the Los Angeles Lakers.
Young finished with a historic stat line of 31 points, 20 assists, and five made 3-pointers, becoming the first NBA player since 1979-80 to achieve such a combination in a single game.
The Hawks extended their winning streak to six games, with significant contributions from De'Andre Hunter (26 points off the bench) and Jalen Johnson (12 points, 10 rebounds).
LeBron James and Anthony Davis led the Lakers with 39 and 38 points respectively, but the team suffered its third straight loss after James missed a potential game-winning 3-pointer at the buzzer.
The Hawks have regained rhythm with a healthier roster and strong bench performances, while Young continues to lead the league in assists this season.
