Trae Young notched 32 points and gave 15 assists, and the Atlanta Hawks won against the Phoenix Suns 129-120 at State Farm Arena in Atlanta, GA.

Trae, who was not picked for the All-Star game, shot 7 for 11 from 3-point line and also had 2 steals. The Hawks guard entered the match averaging 27 points and 11 assists.

Bogdan Bogdanovic helped from the bench with 23 points as his team is on a 3-match winning streak. Dejounte Murray notched 22 points, and Jalen Johnson added 16.

Many supporters sported Kevin Durant jerseys for the Suns superstar’s only visit to Atlanta. Durant finished with 35 points, 8 boards, and 8 assists, as the other Phoenix superstar, Devin Booker, had 24 points.

Phoenix entered the match, having triumphed in 9 of their last 11 matches, but all but 3 of those games were away matches.
