There were just four games on the NBA schedule for October 21, but some interesting results came in from around the league. The Kings were able to upset Russell Westbrook and the Thunder at home, while the world champions suffered their first loss of the season. The Hawks picked up their first win, and the Clippers held off the Rockets late. Below are the five stars from those games on Sunday.
Trae Young - Atlanta Hawks
What a night to be young and in the NBA! It was another historic night in the league, this time with two players 20 years old or younger recording 20 points and 10 assists. Trae Young came up huge with 35 points and 11 assists in the Hawks' first win of the new season!
Tonight was the first time in @NBAHistory that two players age 20 or younger had at least 20 PTS & 10 ASTS in a game on the same day! #ThisIsWhyWePlay
