Trae Young hit a dagger to build the lead up to 5 points
After his performance in the 2021 playoffs, we all changed the way we looked at Trae Young. Instead of being recognized as just a shooter, he increased his stock to now be known as Ice Trae – a clutch player who can put the team on his back when it matters the most.
For most of this season, we haven’t seen Ice Trae anywhere, but he showed up tonight. With the team up two points and 1:18 left on the clock, Trae took a deep three to build the team’s lead up to five points.
