The Pacers were looking good heading into the 4th quarter but then they appeared to get tired as the Hawks outscored them 25-15 to pull away. Danny Granger shook off a bruised heel to lead the Pacers with 31 points and 4 rebounds tonight. Troy Murphy was the other starter for the Pacers that really came to play tonight as he finished up with 14 points, 10 rebounds and 7 assists. Earl Watson (20 points, 25 minutes) and Dahntay Jones (17 points, 5 rebounds in 26 minutes) both added a lot of firepower off the bench in this game for the Pacers. The Pacers shot 53.4% from the floor which is outstanding but they played absolutely no defense in this game allowing the Hawks to hit 52.9% from the floor. The Pacers are now 0-1 on the season.
