Milwaukee Bucks and Trae Young
Atlanta Hawks star player Trae Young was out of the match against the Milwaukee Bucks, but he made sure he did not miss any game action. The Hawks handed Giannis Antetokounmpo’s Bucks their first loss of the season. Trae enjoyed the game from the sidelines, cheering for his team.
The Hawks took on a comprehensive Bucks line-up who were yet to be defeated and won against them at 117-98. Their star Trae Young was missing from the line-up due to a right shin injury, but the Hawks performed very well without their superstar point guard. Young was thrilled with their gameplay against a team loaded with stars. They even managed to keep Giannis in check. Dejounte Murray led the Hawks from the front, dropping 25 points, eight rebounds, 11 assists, three steals, and three triples.
Young instantly took to Twitter to praise the win of his team. He also praised his teammates Onyeka Okungwu, who finished with 12 points and six rebounds coming off the bench for the Hawks, and rookie AJ Griffin who was the no. 16 overall pick as he scored a career-high 24 points on 10-of-15 shooting, with four rebounds, an assist, three steals, and two triples. As mentioned, this was the first defeat for the Bucks since the season began. And, Trae was happy on the sidelines as the Hawks handed it out and now the rivalry continues.
Trae Young’s Atlanta Hawks look to continue their winning streak against the Utah Jazz
Atlanta Hawks will face the Utah Jazz after thumping the Milwaukee Bucks, handing them their first season loss. Atlanta will like to continue their 3-game winning streak by defeating the Jazz, who are in good form as they are at the top of the Western Conference. They have won nine and lost three games of the twelve matches they have played until now.
At the same time, the Hawks have won seven and lost three of their ten games played this season. The Hawks will miss two of their top players, Bogdan Bogdanovic and Trae Young, due to injuries forcing them out. The same is the case for the Jazz’s Jarred Vanderbilt as he too will miss out due to an injury.
With Hawks stepping up to perform in the absence of Trae, his presence on the court will be felt somewhere by them. Though Trae was seen enjoying from the stands, he will be itching to get back on the court. He is still doubtful to take part against the Utah Jazz. Currently he is averaging 28.29 pts, 3.3 rebounds, 9.4 assists, 21.81 performance measure. His team will hope that he recovers soon and gets back to his supreme form.
