Young closed Wednesday's 125-124 loss to Minnesota with 29 points (6-16 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 14-16 FT), eight assists, two rebounds and one steal over 32 minutes.
Playing without backcourt mate Dejounte Murray (illness) for the second game in a row, Young maintained a lofty 38.7 percent usage rate, more than five points above his season-long number. The increased touches allowed Young to post a gaudy line, though it came with inefficient shooting from the field. Young is in the midst of a solid run of play in which he's scored at least 25 points in all but one of his last nine outings, while shooting a magnificent 43.9 percent from downtown.
