LOS ANGELES -- These young Atlanta Hawks are growing up over halfway through the season.

Trae Young scored 26 points, John Collins added 22 and they beat the Los Angeles Clippers 123-118 on Monday night for the first time in nearly three years.

The best all-star garages. The NBA is selecting their all-star teams through an entirely new process this year. The new format involves a draft in which captains from each conference choose their team of all-stars, and rather conveniently for fans, the all-star teams this year are captained by LeBron James and Stephen Curry. However, another study among 11–13 year olds in the Midlands region of the United Kingdom demonstrated that, compared with SM, use of other technologies such as television, music, and video games was more substantially associated with sleep problems (Arora et al., 2014).

Atlanta had lost five in a row to the Clippers dating to March 5, 2016. The Hawks earned their first win against a Pacific Division opponent this season after dropping their first five.

Alex Len had 19 points and nine rebounds off the bench for the Hawks, whose starters all have less than six years in the league, including rookies Young and Kevin Huerter.

'We're fighting,' Len said. 'We're always in games. That's what you want to see from a young team.'

Tobias Harris scored 30 points for the Clippers, whose three-game winning streak ended on the second night of a back-to-back. Lou Williams finished with 21 points and nine assists, and Montrezl Harrell had 18 points.

'Atlanta was better prepared and played harder,' Clippers coach Doc Rivers said. 'They came in with an intent to win the game. You could feel it through the game.'

Atlanta stretched its lead to 16 points, its largest of the game, midway through the fourth quarter.

The Clippers weren't done just yet.

Harris scored 10 of their next 19 points to close to 118-112.

But Dewayne Dedmon dunked and Young hit a 3-pointer that kept the Hawks ahead 123-114.

'He's really been composed over the last couple games,' Collins said of Young. 'He's made an effort to really make the right play.'

The Clippers overcame a 12-point deficit to tie the game five times in the third quarter. But the Hawks closed on a 17-6 run to lead 94-83 going into the fourth. Len scored nine points and 42-year-old Vince Carter drew cheers after connecting on a 3-pointer.

The Hawks set the tone on their first basket of the game. Dedmon slammed a one-handed dunk, stopped and stared into the crowd.

The Clippers led just once after that by three points.
