CHICAGO – Trae Young was on his way to another big outing before he got thrown out of the game, which left the Atlanta Hawks without one more important player.
They still had enough to beat the Chicago Bulls and get some payback for a quadruple-overtime loss at home two nights earlier.
Alex Len scored a season-high 28 points, finishing three points shy of his NBA career high and hitting a personal-best five 3-pointers as Atlanta held on to beat Chicago 123-118 on Sunday.
Young scored 18 before getting ejected early in the third quarter for taunting Chicago’s Kris Dunn.
“I’m proud of my teammates, the way they played with everybody being out,” the star rookie said. “It’s unbelievable. To get a win on the road is tough.”
