After Action Report
The Pacers fended off the Hawks 92-86. The better team simply showed up tonight. The Pacers couldn't shake the cold spell; the Hawks are in a full-on tailspin. Whispers of a Hawks locker-room rift aren't helping. The Hawks rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Survive-and-advance type win.
