As the NBA reaches the homestretch of the regular season, Trae Young is on a roll.
The Atlanta Hawks star has lit up the scoreboard over the past week as the team looks to stay above the top ten in the Eastern Conference.
Young’s latest performance was a 39 point (16 in the fourth quarter), 13 assist performance. According to ESPN, this was Young’s 47th career 30+ point, 10+ assist game which ties Allen Iverson for fifth all time. The other four? James Harden (99), LeBron James (93), Russell Westbrook (83), and Magic Johnson (58).
CLUTCH TREY FOR TRAE.
He's got 36. Hawks by 4 late.

Young’s game against the Bulls followed games on Saturday and Tuesday where he scored 41 and 31 points. Social media took notice as Young was a game-time decision and almost didn’t even play due to an ankle injury.
