After Action Report
The Pacers squeaked past the Hawks 116-112. The Hawks had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Pacers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Hawks' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Pacers bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Pacers per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.
What tipped it
