Pacers Edge Hawks 132-127 Amid Atlanta's Eight-Game Losing Streak

The Indiana Pacers defeated the Atlanta Hawks 132-127, marking their third consecutive victory and continuing Atlanta's losing streak to eight games. Pascal Siakam led the Pacers with 20 points, supported by Andrew Nembhard and Obi Toppin, while Trae Young scored 34 points for the Hawks. Despite a strong performance from Young, who also contributed 17 assists, Atlanta struggled to maintain momentum after briefly leading late in the game. The Pacers shot an impressive 61.5% from the field, while the Hawks have faced challenges due to injuries, including the season-ending loss of Jalen Johnson. The win solidifies Indiana's position in the Eastern Conference playoff race, as they have now won four of their last five games. The Pacers aim to extend their dominance over Atlanta, having swept the four-game series last season.
