Trae Young takes shot at Jimmy Butler after dropping 50 points on the Heat

Trae Young went off, then got one final shot in at the Heat’s Jimmy Butler.

Trae Young went off on Thursday night in the Hawks’ first game since the All-Star break, scoring 50 points in a 129-124 win over the Miami Heat.

Young looked fired up from the tip, and, once he stretched the floor with few very deep 3s, he started attacking the rim — he finished with 19 free throws, making 18 of them. Throw in a night when he hit 8 of 15 from beyond the arc, and that’s how you get your first 50-point game.

Young kept the celebration going after the game, too, taking a shot at Jimmy Butler on Twitter.

For some context: In December, the Hawks were playing the Heat and Young prematurely celebrated, screaming “it’s over!” with about a minute remaining after a big bucket. The Hawks then blew a six-point lead in the final minute.

After that game, Butler put a video out on Instagram with the caption: “this man @traeyoung is a teller of the future. he was right. game WAS over!”

Last night, after Young dropped 50, he got to have the last laugh:

We’ll wait to see if Butler responds.
