Hawks vs. Bucks: Lou Williams does his best Trae Young impersonation to lead Atlanta to Game 4 win
CBSN
Williams finished with 21 points, five rebounds and eight assists in his first ever postseason start
A few months ago, after he was traded from the Los Angeles Clippers to the Atlanta Hawks in one of the more surprising deadline deals, Lou Williams was so upset that he considered retirement. On Tuesday night, he stepped up and delivered a clutch performance to bring the Hawks within two games of the NBA Finals. Shortly before Game 4, the Hawks announced that Trae Young would be out due to a bone bruise in his foot that he suffered in bizarre fashion by stepping on a referee's foot in Game 3. Williams took his place, and in the first playoff start of his career put up 21 points, five rebounds and eight assists on 7 of 9 from the field. With the veteran leading the way, the Hawks secured a 110-88 win over the Milwaukee bucks to tie the Eastern Conference finals at 2-2. "When we saw in our starting five that we had Lou Williams, we were super confident man," Bogdan Bogdanovic said. "You see what that man can do? He was thinking about retirement this year? Man, he can still hoop."More Related News
