Nets torched by Trae Young in lopsided loss to Hawks that helps lottery odds

The Nets got ripped apart 133-109 and cut up by Trae Young’s AND1 mixtape before a sellout crowd of 17,926 at Barclays Center.

Brooklyn trailed by 32 after ex-Net Caris Levert’s free throw made it 99-67 with 1:29 left in the third quarter.

The Nets are angling for a high lottery pick and watched last year’s top overall pick — Zaccharie Risacher — pour in a career-high 38 points.

But it was really Young that humbled them.

Young had 24 points and a dozen assists, but threw passes between his legs, over his head and an array of other spectacular ways.
