TORONTO, Jan. 14 (Xinhua) -- Atlanta Hawks guards Trae Young and Dejounte Murray combined for 56 points in the team's 114-103 victory over Toronto Raptors in NBA action on Saturday evening.
All five starters scored in double-figures, led by Young who had a game-high 29 points and nine assists. This was the 12th straight game of 20 or more points for the 24-year-old, who has 28.9 points during this stretch dating back to Dec. 16.
Murray had a well-rounded effort of 27 points, eight rebounds and six assists.
This was the 10th time the duo combined for 50 or more points. On the season, the tandem ranks fourth in combined points by two guard teammates, trailing Mitchell and Garland (50.5), Doncic and Dinwiddie (50.4), and Lillard and Simons (50.2).
Big man Onyeka Okongwu put up 10 points and 13 rebounds, his eighth double-double of the season.
"Our guys did a good job of controlling the tempo," said Hawks head coach Nate McMillan following the win. "This is probably our best road trip. Toronto is always a tough place to play."
Atlanta controlled the game throughout, never trailing and leading by as much as 18.
With the win, Atlanta improved to 21-22 on the season and 10-13 on the road. Hawks also earned their first win in Toronto in over six years. They had lost seven straight games in Scotiabank Arena prior to winning in December 2016. ■
