After Action Report

The Hawks downed the Pacers 104-93. The Pacers couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Hawks. Second-chance points piled up for the Hawks; Hawks' outside barrage was a constant threat. The Hawks locker room is humming, and it showed. Hawks' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Survive-and-advance type win.
