The freezing cold of New York rushed into Madison Square Garden on Wednesday evening when the Hawks knocked down the Knicks on their floor to validate their ticket to the semi-finals of the NBA Cup (final score 108-100). “Trae Young, air conditioning expert”summed up with humor the sign of this Atlanta supporter, in reference to the performance of the 26-year-old leader, decisive at the end of the match in the Big Apple (22 points, 11 assists including 9 delivered in the second half). A meeting like the start of the season where “Ice Trae” seeks above all to make his partners shine. “He was able to control the match in the second half, but also speed up the game and find his teammates when necessary. That’s what I expect from him.” summed up his coach, Quin Snyder, after the meeting.
