The outcome ruined the debut of Dallas head coach Jason Kidd,
who replaced Rick Carlisle this summer.
The win ended Atlanta's two-game losing streak to the Mavericks.
The Hawks are now 24-6 at home since Feb. 21.
Young was 6-for-16 from the floor, two of them 3-pointers, in 33
minutes and scored a near statistical draw with Dallas rival
Luka Doncic, who had 18 points on 6-for-17 shooting, with 11
rebounds and seven assists. Doncic, guarded most of the night by
Atlanta's De'Andre Hunter, was only 2-for-7 on 3-pointers.
Cam Reddish came off the bench to lead the Hawks with 20 points
on 7-for-15 shooting and three 3-pointers. All five Atlanta
starters scored in double figures. John Collins tallied 16
points and nine rebounds; Clint Capela had 12 points, 13
rebounds and two blocks; Bogdan Bogdanovic and Hunter each
scored 11. The Hawks shot 47.9 percent from the floor.
The Mavericks shot just 33.3 percent. Jalen Brunson came off the
bench to score 17 points. Tim Hardaway Jr. added 14 points and
Kristaps Porzingis scored 11.
Dallas jumped out to a 10-2 lead to start the game, but Atlanta
found its shooting and built a 51-44 lead at halftime. The Hawks
put the game away in the third quarter by outscoring the Mavs
35-20. The Hawks took a 21-point lead with 4:51 left in the
third quarter on a 3-pointer by Hunter.
The Hawks played without Danilo Gallinari (left shoulder
soreness) and Lou Williams (left hip soreness).
Both teams return to action on Saturday. Dallas plays at the
Toronto Raptors, while Atlanta visits the Cleveland Cavaliers.
