After Action Report
The Hawks ran roughshod over the Pacers 120-87. The Hawks got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Second-chance points piled up for the Hawks; second-chance points piled up for the Pacers. The Hawks locker room is humming, and it showed. Pacers' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Never a doubt in this one.
