Trae Young put a little too much heat on what became his final pass of the night.
The 24-year-old made the shot, but was soon whistled for sticking out his leg and kicking Indiana guard Aaron Nesmith after he released the ball.
The NBA has cracked down on unnatural shooting motions with new rules this season, and Young had been one of the main culprits in trying to take advantage of the previous legislation and earn extra free throws. After Pacers guard Tyrese Haliburton drilled a 3-pointer on the other end to tie the game at 84, the Hawks called a timeout and Young’s meltdown ensued.
