Two nights later, they were back at the State Farm Arena to host the Minnesota Timberwolves. Young picked up where he had left off and scored 36 points, helping the Hawks get the win.

However, the 20-year-old's form did not end there as he finished the week dropping 49 points along with 16 assists, against the Chicago Bulls in a highly entertaining 4 OT thriller that unfortunately ended in a loss for the Hawks.
