The Hawks showcased both their new players and even a new way of playing basketball on Tuesday night in a 131-130 win over the Indiana Pacers. It was a thrilling contest with loads of great ball movement — and one that may begin to turn the page on a dull past two or three seasons.
The Pacers and Hawks always seem to link up for high-octane basketball over the past 12 months, and even in preseason, this contest was no different. The teams combined for 261 points in 221 possessions and the game quite literally came down to the final second.
