Atlanta Hawks at Utah Jazz

Trae Young's 49-foot buzzer-beater lifts Hawks to a 124-121 win over the Jazz

Utah scored on five straight possessions and took a 114-113 lead on back-to-back dunks from Kessler. Young hit a step-back 3-pointer to put Atlanta back in front, and fed De’Andre Hunter for another go-ahead 3 with 1:57 left.
