Trae Young capped a memorable day by scoring 19 points while leading the visiting Hawks to a 112-106 win over the Orlando Magic on Monday, Atlanta’s third consecutive victory.

Young made four free throws in the final 24 seconds to ice the outcome. He also had eight assists and five rebounds to help offset nine turnovers.

Earlier in the day, Young was announced as the Eastern Conference Player of the Week for averaging 31.3 points and 10.5 assists in four games, and he was named to an All-Star as a replacement for Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf).

Caris LeVert, playing his second game for the Hawks since being acquired at the trade deadline, came off the bench to produce 18 points and eight rebounds.

Orlando’s Franz Wagner matched his season high with 37 points and added seven rebounds. Paolo Banchero scored 31, including 20 in the third quarter, and pulled down six rebounds. No other Magic player scored in double figures.

It was the first of four meetings between the two teams this season. The Hawks have won three straight against Orlando.

Atlanta was up 25-22 after the first quarter, and Vit Krejci’s 3-pointer gave the Hawks a 42-34 edge midway through the second period. The Magic used a 10-2 run to tie the game, finished the half on a 13-6 run for a 57-50 halftime lead. Wagner scored 20 in the first half.

Atlanta outscored the Magic 33-25 in the third quarter, though Banchero made four 3-pointers to keep Orlando close. The Hawks were ahead 83-82 entering the fourth quarter.

Neither team led by more than five points in the final period until Young made his foul shots in the last minute.

The Hawks lost two players to injury on back-to-back plays in the fourth quarter. Larry Nance Jr. banged his knee at 8:01 and was taken to the locker room. On the next possession at 7:43, Krejci hurt his back after being knocked to the floor following a dunk. He made a foul shot to complete a three-point play, then left the court. Neither player was able to return.
