After Action Report
In Atlanta, the Pacers handled the Hawks 109-99. Execution down the stretch made the difference. The Pacers came in with something to prove after a loss; the Hawks bent the defense out of shape from deep. Whispers of a Hawks locker-room rift aren't helping.
What tipped it
- Hawks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Pacers · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
