Hawks: Caris LeVert scored 15 points, Georges Niang had 12, Vit Krejci 11 and Terance Mann 10 on a strong night for Atlanta's second unit.

Key moment Onyeka Okongwu made a layup for the Hawks with 10.6 seconds left before halftime for a 52-49 lead. That basket ended up as the start of a 13-0 run that included a jumper by Young and 3-pointers by Zaccharie Risacher and Mouhamed Gueye. Young went on to score 17 points in the third quarter.

Key stat Atlanta's bench outscored Charlotte's 57-18.
