The Pacers pulled away from the Hawks 125-108. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Pacers cashed in. Second-chance points piled up for the Pacers; the Pacers carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one. The Pacers bench chemistry carried them. Tonight's Hawks utilization choices clashed with the team identity.
