The Atlanta side also had their good moments with a magnificent performance from Young. However, the Rockets couldn?t care less about Young, as they went on to troll him on and off the court.

The on-court battle caused a tussle between a few players, including Trae Young against Jalen Green. The players looked visibly pissed with each other and obviously wanted to prove a point.

The Rockets and the crew might have enjoyed an amazing night at home, but their record this season is concerning. They have won a mere four of their 18 games this season, making the win against Hawks impressive. The team is at the bottom of the Western Conference, so the fans would want them to maintain their recent form throughout the season.
