After Action Report
The Pacers held off the Hawks 115-106. Pacers' offense had its way with the Hawks. The Pacers answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Pacers' outside barrage was a constant threat. Whispers of a Hawks locker-room rift aren't helping. The Hawks 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.
- Hawks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Pacers · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
