After Action Report
The Hawks outlasted the Pacers 127-117. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Hawks cashed in. Hawks' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Hawks' outside barrage was a constant threat. The Pacers rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.
What tipped it
- Hawks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Pacers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
