After Action Report
The Hawks edged the Pacers 88-79. Hawks' offense had its way with the Pacers. Hawks' defenders refused to give up clean looks; Pacers' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. The Hawks locker room is humming, and it showed. The Pacers rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Survive-and-advance type win.
