The Pacers outscored the Hawks in all four quarters. They have completely dominated both ends of the court in the first two games of the series. The Pacers shot 47 percent from the field as a team during the game. Paul George once again had a big game, he led Indiana with 27 points. George Hill was next in scoring for the Pacers with 22 points, he was followed by Roy Hibbert who had fifteen, Gerald Green came off the bench and also scored fifteen points.
The Hawks have looked pathetic in the first two games of the series. They are out-hustled and out-played. Part of the reason could be the fact coach Larry Drew rested his players so much during the seasons' final weeks, they are out of rhythm now. The Hawks shot 49 percent from the field, they have had a better percentage from the field in both games, but it doesn't reflect in the final outcome.
Devin Harris led the Hawks in scoring with seventeen points. Josh Smith and Jeff Teague both added sixteen points and Al Horford scored thirteen and led the Hawks with ten rebounds. Every player on the Hawks scored besides rookie John Jenkins.
The Hawks will return home on Saturday for game three against the Pacers at 7 p.m. Hopefully home-court advantage will help the Hawks win and come back in the series.
Devin Harris is fouled while attempting a shot, he led the Hawks with seventeen points in their 113-98 loss to Indiana in game two of the Eastern Conference playoffs.
