The Hawks were without Dejounte Murray for a win-or-go-home Game 5 against the Celtics, but Trae Young stepped up when Atlanta needed him most.
In the Hawks' come-from-behind victory, Young scored 38 points and dished out 13 assists without the help of his backcourt mate, who was suspended after bumping into an official at the end of Game 4.
"I don't feel like there was any pressure on me," Young said during his postgame interview on TNT. "I gotta come out here and be better. Obviously, we didn't have [Murray], so we all gotta step our game up another level — not just me, we all did tonight.
"I credit my teammates. It was a total team win."
The first-round series will now shift to Atlanta for Thursday night's Game 6. Will Murray be back in the starting lineup?
