In a shocking turn of events, Trae Young was ejected from the play-in game against the Orlando Magic, and the Hawks’ chances of advancing to the next round were severely shattered. The Magic seized the opportunity, dominating the Hawks 120-95 in a lopsided victory.
Young’s ejection came with 4:47 left in the game, after he received two technical fouls. Despite his impressive 28 points and six assists before leaving the court, Young’s departure marked a turning point in the game. The Hawks struggled to regain momentum, and the Magic capitalized on the opportunity, outscoring them by 25 points in the final stretch.
The Magic’s victory was a testament to their strength and determination, as they outplayed the Hawks in almost every facet of the game. The Hawks, on the other hand, were left reeling from Young’s ejection and struggled to find their footing without their star point guard.
As the Hawks look to regroup and refocus, they will face the winner of the Kings-Mavericks game on Friday night in a high-stakes matchup for the eighth seed. The loss serves as a harsh reminder of the thin line between victory and defeat in the competitive world of the NBA.
