The Pacers are back in Indianapolis to kick off a six-game homestand against Trae Young and the Atlanta Hawks. The Blue & Gold are looking for a bounce-back game after dropping two straight and three of their last four.
So far, the Pacers are hanging tough with Atlanta’s red-hot shooters, but still have some work to do. Atlanta shot 25-of-42 (59.5 percent) from the floor, including 10-of-15 (66.7 percent) from deep to take a 65-57 lead into the break. Young and Kevin Huerter have 15 apiece to lead the team.
Indiana shot a solid 45.8 percent from the floor but hit just five of its 17 3-point attempts.
