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 short of the half-court line and hit the 50-foot winner as time expired while being loosely guarded by Collin Sexton, who had seemingly forced overtime with a tying 3-pointer with four seconds remaining.
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 put up 17.
Lauri Markkanen tallied 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 and took 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 for another go-ahead 3 with 1:57 left.
