Young isn't a stranger when it comes to taking big shots in big moments, having been the man during his several years as the face of the Atlanta Hawks franchise. Now with the Wizards, the four-time NBA All-Star point guard continues to have the ball in his hands in clutch moments, and he delivered the goods for Washington during those final moments in the fourth quarter. Young is always going to be a threat, though, regardless of the time and setting of a game.
