00:00The Hawks have used the NBA Cup in this in-season competition to turn its season around.

00:10They have now won 10 of their last 13, including the quarterfinal victory yesterday inside

00:17MSG.

00:18108-100.

00:19Again, outright, as an eight and a half point underdog, a total of 237 and a half does stay

00:26under.

00:27Last night, for Ice Trey, back in the Garden, a place that he says he has a love-hate relationship

00:34with.

00:35They hate him, he loves playing in the Garden, and Atlanta wins outright to head to Las Vegas

00:40on Saturday.

00:41Yeah, 22-11-5 for Trey Young last night on the biggest stage.

00:45And also keep in mind, you see that final score, 108-100, it wasn't an easy go for Atlanta

00:49down at the break, but that decisive third quarter, 34-18, really decided that game,

00:54and a nice comeback for the Atlanta Hawks.

00:56We did have some balance scoring also from the Hawks there.

00:59Johnson had the 21 points, Trey Young had the 22, but how about coming off the bench,

01:02De'Andre Hunter goes 8-15 from the floor, 4-5 from three-point range for 24 points to

01:07help them out.

01:08The one thing we did know is this spread was up there, 7, 7.5, 8, 8.5 by game time, and

01:13a high total at this point.

01:14I thought the Atlanta Hawks would be able to hang around, but I did think the Knicks

01:17were the better team and probably would win.

01:19That's a pretty good performance for the Hawks, because you can't say anywhere, like, nobody

01:22really cares about the NBA Cup.

01:24The players are buying in, and that was the big stage in New York, and Trey Young loves

01:28that big stage and continues to play well and perform well when he heads to Madison

01:31Square Garden.
