Trae Young hits 50-foot buzzer beater to lift Hawks over Jazz

SALT LAKE CITY — Trae Young hit a buzzer-beating 3-pointer from beyond the half-court line to give the Atlanta Hawks a 124-121 victory over the Utah Jazz on Tuesday night.

Young took an inbounds pass, dribbled to just below the half-court line and hit the 50-foot winner as time expired while loosely guarded by Collin Sexton, who had seemingly forced overtime with a game-tying 3-pointer with four seconds left.

Young finished with 24 points and 20 assists. Dyson Daniels added 16 points, 7 assists and 6 rebounds for the Hawks, who snapped a three-game skid. Clint Capela scored 18 points and De’Andre Hunter had 17.

Lauri Markkanen hit a season-high eight 3-pointers and scored a season-best 35 points for Utah. Sexton added 24 points and Walker Kessler finished with 21 points and 10 rebounds.

Utah scored on five straight possessions to take a 114-113 lead on back-to-back dunks from Kessler. Young hit a step-back 3-pointer to put Atlanta back in front, then fed Hunter another 3-pointer with 1:57 left.
