After Action Report
The Pacers downed the Hawks 89-78. The Pacers won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Hawks' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. Pacers' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
