Trae Young ejected in Hawks' 120-95 play-in loss to Magic

Trae Young's frustration boiled over during the Atlanta Hawks' 120-95 loss to the Orlando Magic in the NBA play-in tournament, resulting in his ejection after receiving two technical fouls. The ejection occurred with less than five minutes left in the game, following a hard pass thrown towards a referee and a subsequent refusal to promptly hand the ball over. Young defended his actions, stating he was advocating for his teammates and felt the officiating was uneven, as Orlando committed more fouls than Atlanta. Despite scoring a game-high 28 points, Young's absence contributed to the Hawks' inability to mount a comeback. The Hawks are set to face the winner of the Bulls-Heat game in a do-or-die scenario to secure the final playoff spot. Young expressed a commitment to manage his emotions better in the upcoming critical game.
