Trae Young pulled off a ridiculous half-court buzzer-beater to save the Atlanta Hawks on Tuesday night.

Young somehow managed to drain a contested 3-pointer from just shy of the half-court line at the Delta Center on Tuesday. Immediately, after wiping his arm, the Hawks swarmed him and celebrated their 124-121 win while quieting the Jazz crowd.

That was only half of the wild finish in Salt Lake City. Collin Sexton hit a contested 3-pointer of his own after a scramble for the ball on the other end, which tied the game up and looked like it was going to send the game into overtime.

But, thanks to Young’s heroics, Atlanta pulled it off.
