Trae Young Stats Without Dejontae Murray.
Trae Young has averaged 25.3 points, 9.1 assists and 3.8 rebounds in 286 games without Dejounte Murray in his career.
Young dropped a game-high 38 points, including a game-winning 30-foot three-pointer with 2.1 seconds remaining.
That shot capped a remarkable comeback in a game where the Hawks trailed by 13 points with six minutes remaining in the fourth quarter.
Atlanta did that all without Murray, who was suspended for Game 5 after bumping an official following the Hawks’ 129-121 loss to Boston in Game 4 on Sunday.
Having Murray back for Game 6 will be a huge boost, however. He’s arguably been the Hawks’ best postseason player with 25.3 points, 7.3 rebounds, 5.8 assists and 2.3 steals in four games versus the C’s.
Young told him to be ready for the Hawks’ effort to tie this series at three games apiece
Atlanta Hawks guard Dejounte Murray led the team with 29 points and made seven attempts from deep in Tuesday’s Game 2 loss against Boston.
It was a great performance from downtown, but Murray shot only 11-for-24 overall from the field and the Hawks again struggled to hang with Boston.

The versatile guard completed his line with six rebounds, six assists and four steals in 40 minutes. Murray went a horrible 0-for-6 with the three-ball in Game 1, but he is still averaging a team-high 26.5 points in the playoffs.
With Trae Young struggling and shooting just 35 percent across the first two games, the Hawks clearly need even more from Murray to avoid getting swept in the series.
Atlanta Hawks point guard Trae Young was back to his best in Game 3 against Boston Friday, helping the team to a 130-112 victory with a game-high 32 points. After shooting a miserable 14-for-40 across the first two games of the series, Young finished 12-for-22 from the field with a 2-for-6 record from deep. He made an impact all over the court, notching six rebounds and nine assists with one steal and two blocks in 37 minutes.
Young gave his numbers a nice boost with Game 3, but his three-point shooting still needs work — he is hitting only 26 percent from downtown in the series.
