Anthony Davis and LeBron James scored a combined 77 points on Friday night, but Trae Young’s last-second shot in overtime sealed the win for the Hawks.
LeBron and Davis Shine Despite Injuries:
Both LeBron and Davis weren’t sure if they’d play due to left foot injuries. Yet, they hit the court with LeBron achieving a triple-double: 39 points, 10 rebounds, 11 assists, along with two steals and three blocks. He also broke his three-point slump by sinking six out of eleven shots from deep.

Thrilling Game Moments:
In the final moments of regulation, LeBron made a crucial layup after an intense back-and-forth where leads kept changing. Later in overtime, he pulled off an amazing chase-down block with just 25 seconds left. It was impressive for someone who had already played 42 minutes at age 39! Perhaps he was motivated by ESPN’s earlier suggestion that the Lakers should trade him.

Trae Young Steals the Spotlight:
Despite their efforts, Atlanta emerged victorious in this nail-biter game with a scoreline of 134-132. Young was phenomenal; he not only scored 31 points but also handed out an incredible 20 assists while making all his free throws. His passes set up Bogdan Bogdanovic and De’Andre Hunter multiple times for easy baskets.
