After Action Report
The Hawks fended off the Pacers 94-86. The Pacers couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Hawks. The Hawks answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Hawks' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The Hawks locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Hawks per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
