Trae Young hit a buzzer-beating 3-pointer from beyond the halfcourt line to give the Atlanta Hawks a stunning 124-121 victory over the Utah Jazz on Tuesday night.

Young took an inbounds pass, dribbled to just short of halfcourt and hit the 49-foot winner as time expired while being loosely guarded by Collin Sexton, who had seemingly forced overtime with a tying 3-pointer with four seconds remaining.

Young finished with 24 points and 20 assists. Dyson Daniels added 16 points, seven assists, and six rebounds for the Hawks, who snapped a three-game skid. Clint Capela scored 18 points and De’Andre Hunter 17.

Lauri Markkanen set season highs with 35 points and eight 3s for the Jazz, while Sexton added 24 points.

Utah scored on five straight possessions and took a 114-113 lead on back-to-back dunks from Walker Kessler. Young hit a step-back 3 to put Atlanta back in front and fed De’Andre Hunter for another go-ahead 3 with 1:57 left.

Utah has won just twice in 15 home games.

Celtics hold off depleted Nuggets

Jayson Tatum scored 29 points, Kristaps Porziņģis added 25 and the Boston Celtics held off the depleted Denver Nuggets 118-106 as three-time NBA MVP Nikola Jokić sat out because of an illness.

Porzingis had 11 rebounds, while Jrue Holiday contributed 19 points. The Celtics attempted 35 3-pointers, which was well below their season average of 50.17. Instead, they outscored the Nuggets by a 60-46 margin in the paint.

Russell Westbrook had 26 points for Denver. Michael Porter Jr. added 15 points and 10 rebounds as the Nuggets dropped to 10-7 at home. They were 33-8 last season.

Trailing by as many as 15 points in the first half, the Nuggets rallied to make sure the game stayed tight down the stretch. There was a momentary break with 8:56 remaining when a cup of ice spilt on the court. It took several minutes to clean up. Christian Braun followed with a 3-pointer to tie it at 93.

Boston went on a 15-0 run to help cement the win.

Short-handed Mavericks beat Lakers

Quinten Grimes had 26 points, nine rebounds and six assists and the Dallas Mavericks snapped a five-game skid with a 118-97 win over the Los Angeles Lakers.

Grimes matched his career high with six 3-pointers on 6-for-11 shooting. P.J. Washington shot 9 for 14 and finished with 22 points and eight rebounds for the Mavs, who shot 52% (18 of 38) from long range.

The Mavericks ended their losing streak without their top scorers. Luka Dončić has been out with a left calf strain since Dec. 25, and Kyrie Irving has been sidelined the past two games with a bulging disk in his back.

Anthony Davis led the Lakers with 21 points and 12 rebounds. LeBron James added 18 points, 10 rebounds, and eight assists as Los Angeles lost its second straight.

Los Angeles was 11 of 35 from 3-point range and was outrebounded 44-33.

The Mavs finished the first half on an 11-0 run to take a five-point lead. They kept it going early in the third quarter, building a 16-point advantage with three minutes remaining in the period.
