Trae Young promised he wouldn’t have another night like he did in the Hawks’ loss Thursday in Chicago.

“I told y’all I would bounce back,” he said after Saturday’s 41-point night in Atlanta’s win vs. Toronto. But what do the Hawks need to do to turn another corner with 22 games left in the regular season?

Plus, we also dig into how Young turned one of his worst shooting nights into one of his best and answer your questions from the mailbag.
