ATLANTA — Trae Young scored 38 points and the Atlanta Hawks overcame LaMelo Ball's 34 points and career-best nine 3-pointers to hold off the Charlotte Hornets 125-120. Ball made 9 of 14 3-pointers before fouling out late in the game. His previous career high was eight. De'Andre Hunter added 24 points for Atlanta. Charlotte never led but pulled even twice in the final period. The Hornets were without two starters, including guard Brandon Miller. The team said Miller will be out at least a week because of a strained left glute.
