This year’s race to the bottom will be exceedingly tight, and Atlanta held serve in the “competition” for best odds to nab the number one overall draft pick.
The Hawks were dominate top-to-bottom in this game, as the Pacers outrebounded Atlanta 57-40, outassisted them 30-14 and had an immense 17 steals to the Hawks’ 9. Atlanta also committed a humongous 22 turnovers, and though Indiana committed 17 of their own, the Hawks never seemed to take advantage of those miscues.
The Pacers had six players who scored in double figures and numerous astonishing performances therein.
