Atlanta Hawks guard Trae Young had Las Vegas on his mind as his team closed out a victory over the New York Knicks at Madison Square Garden on Dec. 11.

The Hawks star bent at midcourt and pretended to roll dice as the final seconds ticked away in a 108–100 win over the Knicks (15-10). Atlanta (14-12) advanced to the NBA Cup semifinals with the victory, so the Hawks will head to Las Vegas for the final stretch of the early-season tournament.
