Young supplied 23 points (7-16 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 6-8 FT), 16 assists and three steals across 37 minutes during Thursday's 133-126 overtime loss to San Antonio.

Rotowire
Young registered 15 points (6-13 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 1-2 FT), 10 assists, four rebounds and three steals in 35 minutes during Sunday's 141-111 loss to Denver.
Young delivered a much more efficient outing than his 9-for-25 shooting performance during Friday's win over the Lakers, though he struggled from three-point range once again. The star point guard has shot only 25.0 percent from beyond the arc in his last five games, and he is shooting a career-low 31.0 percent from deep through 24 regular-season appearances. However, Young did total his 17th double-double of the season Sunday, and he has been spectacular moving the rock while averaging a career-high 12.2 assists per game.

Hawks' Trae Young: Makes history in OT win
Rotowire
Young amassed 31 points (9-25 FG, 5-13 3Pt, 8-8 FT), four rebounds, 20 assists and two steals over 42 minutes during Friday's 134-132 overtime victory over the Lakers.
The All-Star point guard capped a historic night by draining a game-winning three with just 8.0 seconds left on the clock in OT. Young became the first Atlanta player ever to score 30-plus points with 20-plus assists in a game, and he's just the 11th in NBA history to reach those marks, an exclusive club that includes legends like Oscar Robertson and Magic Johnson as well as Luka Doncic and Russell Westbrook. The most remarkable part of Young's performance might have been that he committed only three turnovers along the way, while the 20 dimes weren't even his season high, as he dished 22 against the Cavs on Nov. 27. Over his last 12 games, Young has produced seven double-doubles while averaging 18.7 points, 13.0 assists, 3.6 boards, 2.3 threes and 1.3 steals.

On the surface, Young posted a decent stat line and played a big role in this upset win over Milwaukee. However, the star floor general continues to deal with inefficiency while nursing Achilles tendinitis, an issue that seems to be affecting his game. Even though he's averaging 17.5 points, 12.7 assists and 3.7 rebounds per game across his last 10 appearances, it's worth noting Young is also shooting 38.8 percent from the field and 25.0 percent from three-point range in that span.

Hawks' Trae Young: Passive performance in win
Rotowire
Young finished with 12 points (5-16 FG, 2-9 3Pt), eight rebounds, 15 assists and one steal across 36 minutes during Monday's 124-112 victory over New Orleans.
Young continues to focus on involving his teammates as opposed to creating his own shot. He has scored more than 20 points only once in the past five games, a noticeable decline when compared to his usual output. Over the past two weeks, he has averaged just 17.4 points per game, adding 13.3 assists and 1.6 steals. It is unclear whether this is a planned move by the coaching staff or simply Young not feeling it on the offensive end. Nonetheless, Young should continue to be the primary offensive hub moving forward, be it passing the ball or finding his teammates.
