Trae Young Enters History Books in 4OT Thriller Vs. Bulls

Story by KL ChouinardTwitter: @KLChouinardHead coach Lloyd Pierce set a high bar for Trae Young at practice Thursday. 

"You're going to see a 20-assist game from Trae, I guarantee you," Pierce said.

  • Young joined James Harden as just the second player in NBA history to post a stat line that included 49-or-more points and 16-or-more assists
  • Young joined LeBron James and Michael Jordan as the only rookies in the last 40 years to compile 40-or-more points and 10-or-more assists in a game.
  • Young is the just the fourth rookie since the ABA-NBA merger to score 35 or more points in at least three straight games. The others are Bernard King, Michael Jordan, and Allen Iverson.
