In a thrilling NBA matchup, Trae Young led the Atlanta Hawks to a 122-117 victory over the Phoenix Suns, scoring a season-high 43 points. The game marked the end of the Suns' three-game winning streak, while the Hawks improved their record to 20-19. Despite playing without key forwards De’Andre Hunter, Larry Nance Jr., and Jalen Johnson, Atlanta found ways to secure the win.

Kevin Durant contributed significantly for the Suns with 31 points, including 14 in the third quarter, but Phoenix struggled to find success in Atlanta, having not won there since March 2014. Young’s performance stood out, as he managed to make six three-pointers and successfully converted 11 of 14 free-throw attempts.
