After Action Report
The Hawks survived the Pacers 102-100. The Pacers couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Hawks. You could feel the revenge motivation from the Hawks; Hawks' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Hawks rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
