"It was going to be tough for the Hawks to score against the Pacers even with all of their scorers on the floor.

With three of them unavailable because of injuries, the Hawks couldn't muster enough points to keep up with Indiana.

The diminishing depth, Indiana's physical defense and the relentless schedule all tested the Hawks' resolve Wednesday night. They tried to overcome all of that, but eventually faded to a 96-84 defeat at Indiana."
