Young accumulated 16 points (5-18 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 5-7 FT), three rebounds, eight assists and two steals across 35 minutes during Saturday's 112-99 loss to the Celtics in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Quarterfinals.
Young didn't perform well and ended up with more field-goal attempts (18) than points scored (16) while also struggling badly from deep. The Hawks may need Young to be at his best if they want to have a chance of at least keeping the games close in this series, but performances like this won't make the cut against a superior team such as Boston.
