Quin Snyder Gives Injury Update on Trae Young

It was a night to forget in Atlanta.

The Hawks got steamrolled by the Cavs and in the process, lost point guard Trae Young to injury early in the fourth quarter.

Young was trying to draw a charge on Cleveland forward Isaac Okoro, took a hard hit, and went to the locker room. Hawks head coach Quin Snyder gave an update on Young's injury status right after the game and said that Young is being evaluated for a potential concussion.

This is obviously huge for the Hawks if he were to miss any extended time. The Hawks have won two games without Young this season, but he is irreplaceable in the Hawks lineup. Atlanta has two games on the West Coast against the Kings and the Warriors, so keep an eye to see if Young makes the trip or not.

With so many guys out for them, Cleveland was going to have to rely on a group effort around Mitchell tonight and that is what they got. It was a balanced night of scoring for the Cavs, especially in the second quarter with four players scoring at least five points. Cleveland dominated the second quarter 34-25 and took a 14-point lead into the half.

Cleveland outscored Atlanta 34-25 in the third quarter and led by 23 going into the fourth. The Cavs would win the game 116-95.

This was a bad performance from the Hawks on offense. They shot 40% from the floor and 29% from three, while also going 10-15 from the free throw line. It was a rough performance all around from the Hawks' offense.

Cleveland shot 50% from the field and 37% from three. Seven Cavalier players got in double figures, going back to my earlier point that the Cavs got an all-around effort from everyone tonight and did not need to rely on Mitchell to carry the load for the team.
