Jimmy Butler got back at Trae Young, who prematurely said Hawks-Heat game was over
Oops.
Young Atlanta Hawks star Trae Young learned a very important lesson the hard way on Tuesday night.
After dropping a perfect dime to teammate Alex Len with over a minute left in the fourth quarter against the Miami Heat, the Hawks were up 117-111. Young decided that was a good time to make the universal sign for “it’s over!”
But the game was not, in fact, over. And the Heat would end up coming back and winning 135-121 in overtime.
After the game, Heat star Jimmy Butler took to Instagram to needle Young for the reaction with a great post and caption: “This man (Trae Young) is a teller of the future. he was right. game WAS over!”
For what it’s worth, Young took it in stride on Twitter:
….Welp
