Pacers Keep Hawks in Check

The Atlanta Hawks tried to rally late against the Indiana Pacers, but it wasn't enough as they lost on Tuesday night, 102-98. In the last three games since their win against the Heat, the Hawks have tried to rally late in each game. Obviously that is not a good tactic for them as they have lost all three games.
Paul George was the nemesis for the Hawks tonight, he scored twenty points for the Pacers. He hit a three-pointer at the end of the first half to give the Pacers a 49-47 lead and they never looked back. Also, when the Hawks pulled within two points in the fourth quarter, George hit two clutch free throws to seal the win for Indiana.
Lou Williams led the Hawks with eighteen points. Anthony Tolliver had a good game with fourteen points, Kyle Korver had thirteen, Ivan Johnson had twelve and Jeff Teague had eleven. Devin Harris, playing in his first preseason game, also had eleven to give the Hawks six players in double figures. Damion James had another solid performance pulling down eight rebounds to lead Atlanta in that category.
The Hawks are now 1-3 in the preseason. They return to Atlanta and will face the New Orleans Hornets on Thursday night at Philips Arena. The Hornets are 3-1 this preseason. The game will start at 7:30 p.m.
