Despite Sochan&#8217;s outstanding performance, matching his career high with 33 points, and a stellar showing from Victor Wembanyama, who contributed 21 points, 12 rebounds, and four blocks for San Antonio, it was Young&#8217;s defensive play that ultimately made the difference.<\/p>\n<p>The defeat marked a significant milestone for the struggling Spurs, as they dropped to a 3-15 record for the first time since December 8, 1996. This challenging start led to the dismissal of then-coach Bob Hill by the current legendary coach Gregg Popovich, who began his remarkable 28-year tenure with the team.<\/p>\n<p>In the fourth quarter, Young&#8217;s offensive brilliance shone through, as he tallied 13 points, going 3 for 5 from the field and an impressive 7 for 8 on free throws. This late-game surge not only sealed the win for the Hawks but also snapped their two-game losing streak, highlighting Trae Young&#8217;s impact on both ends of the court.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/1h5GqRB1mbE?si=z3OM-rbyhcEKt3b3\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In a stunning display of skill and determination on Thursday night, Trae Young not only showed his offensive powers with a season-high 45 [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":137,"featured_media":471494,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"inline_featured_image":false},"tags":[17176,17104,17189],"news_category":[16706,14084],"gn_keywords":[17947,18132,18827],"acf":{"announce":"San Antonio are in a crisis that they've never seen in 27 years with a 3-15 record","video":["video"]},"rank_math_focus_keyword":"","rank_math_description":"","rank_math_title":"","rank_math_robots":"","rank_math_canonical_url":"","rank_math_facebook_title":"","rank_math_facebook_description":"","rank_math_facebook_image":"","rank_math_twitter_title":"","rank_math_twitter_description":"","rank_math_twitter_image":"","rank_math_snippet_shortcode":"","rank_math_primary_category":"","rankmath_seo":{"focus_keyword":"","description":"","title":"","canonical_url":"","robots":"","facebook":{"title":"","description":"","image":""},"twitter":{"title":"","description":"","image":""}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/7sport.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/news\/471493"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/7sport.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/news"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/7sport.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/news"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/7sport.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/137"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/7sport.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=471493"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/7sport.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/news\/471493\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":471496,"href":"https:\/\/7sport.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/news\/471493\/revisions\/471496"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/7sport.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/471494"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/7sport.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=471493"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/7sport.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=471493"},{"taxonomy":"news_category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/7sport.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/news_category?post=471493"},{"taxonomy":"gn_keywords","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/7sport.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/gn_keywords?post=471493"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
