The Atlanta Hawks and the Indiana Pacers duke it out at the Gainbridge Fieldhouse on Friday night.
The Atlanta Hawks have been in a slump as they’ve lost six of their last eight games overall and they will be hoping to bounce back here after getting beaten by the Bucks in a 114-105 home loss on Wednesday. Bogdan Bogdanovic led the team with 22 points and five assists off the bench, De’Andre Hunter led the team with 16 points and nine rebounds while John Collins chipped in with 15 points and seven assists. As a team, the Hawks shot 44 percent from the field and 11 of 30 from the 3-point line as they worked hard to rally all the way back from a 24-point deficit to take the lead late in the fourth quarter, only to allow the Bucks to close the final 2:50 on a 13-4 run fall short in the end.
Meanwhile, the Indiana Pacers have been in great shape as they’ve won six of their last eight games overall, but they will be eager to get back on the court after getting stopped in their tracks by the Knicks in a 119-113 road loss on Wednesday. Buddy Hield led the team with 31 points and eight rebounds on 11 of 20 shooting, Bennedict Mathurin led the team with 20 points on seven of 13 shooting off the bench while Tyrese Haliburton chipped in with 15 points and seven assists. As a team, the Pacers shot 47 percent from the field and 12 of 39 from the 3-point line as they struggled to find their footing and managed just 41 points in the first half to trail by as many as 25 points which proved to be just too much to overcome as they couldn’t get the lead despite cutting the deficit to just three points late.
