After Action Report
The Hawks survived the Pacers 99-97. The Pacers couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Hawks. The Hawks came in with something to prove after a loss; the Pacers owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The Hawks locker room is humming, and it showed. Pacers' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
