The Indiana Pacers played for their playoff lives against an Atlanta Hawks team that decided to rest its top-five scorers. On paper, the Pacers should cruise to a win to lock up the 7th seed in the Eastern Conference… but these are the Pacers. Nothing regarding this team is ever easy.
Here’s how Pacers fans & media reacted to the game on Twitter
PREGAME
Hawks will rest tonight vs. Pacers: Millsap, Howard, Bazemore, Schroder, Hardaway all OUT. Sefolosha probable.
