The Atlanta Hawks are still alive.

Trae Young powered a stunning fourth-quarter rally on Tuesday to overcome a double-digit fourth-quarter deficit in 119-117 thriller over the Boston Celtics. He capped the win with a deep go-ahead 3 from just beyond the logo with 1.8 seconds remaining.

The shot capped a 16-point fourth quarter from Young that cemented a Celtics collapse at home. He finished the game with 38 points and 13 assists while scoring Atlanta's final 14 points. With the Hawks win, Boston now holds a 3-2 lead with the series headed back to Atlanta for Game 6.
