Hawks-Pacers Preview

Posted Mar 24 2013 8:34PM

The Indiana Pacers did fine initially without David West, but the power forward's absence may be starting to catch up to them.

It's hard to say, though, how missing West will affect Monday night's matchup with an Atlanta Hawks team seeking a third straight road victory.

Indiana (43-27) won its first three games without the power forward before falling 87-84 at Chicago on Saturday. West, second on the Pacers with 17.3 points per game, will miss his fifth straight contest Monday due to a sprained lower back.

"Definitely so when David's in, he's somebody we go to late in the games and that's something that we'll always miss, win or lose, but still, we've been playing well in David's absence," leading scorer Paul George said.

Tyler Hansbrough is replacing West in the starting lineup. Hansbrough averaged 18.0 points and 12.3 rebounds in the first three games of this stretch before the Bulls limited him to seven and six.

Oddly enough, West averaged 24.5 points in two defeats to Atlanta (39-31) this season while he only scored 15 in a 114-103 victory Feb. 5.

The home team has won all three meetings, but the Hawks are in a confident mood after opening a four-game trip with Sunday's 104-99 victory over Milwaukee. Atlanta closed on a 9-1 run for its fifth win in seven games.

"Playing on the road, you have to bring a certain mentality and I thought we did that tonight," coach Larry Drew said. "We did enough to come out with a win."

Al Horford's string of six straight double-doubles ended, but the big man was still outstanding with 24 points, seven rebounds and six assists. Josh Smith had 23 points.

"It shows a lot of toughness from our team," Horford said. "It is important, obviously. They are in the hunt, like we are. We want to position ourselves in the best scenario that we can. We've done the job."

Horford is averaging 17.0 points on 66.7 percent shooting in the season series against Indiana. He fouled out in the lone defeat and totaled three fouls in the victories.

Hawks guard Devin Harris went to the locker room midway through the fourth quarter Sunday with an injured left foot and did not return. Drew said Atlanta would evaluate Harris, who has missed two of three meetings with the Pacers, on Monday.

The coach also indicated that he will go back to DeShawn Stevenson, who sat out Sunday. Stevenson is not being used in back-to-back situations and Drew preferred to use him against the Pacers' bigger perimeter players.

Stevenson can expect to see some action against George, who had 23 points and 11 rebounds on Saturday but made 1 of 6 3-pointers.

"It just wasn't my night," said George, who is shooting 25.0 percent on 3s over his last six games. "I couldn't really get into a rhythm outside the 3-point line."

The Pacers continue to lead the NBA in defensive field-goal percentage at 41.4, but the Hawks have connected at 47.6 percent in the season series.

Short-handed Pacers hold off Hawks 100-94

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) The Indiana Pacers built a team to withstand the perils of a long NBA season.

On Monday night, they showed why depth matters.

With Indiana playing without four key contributors because of injuries, Gerald Green scored 17 of his 19 points in the second half, including a game-saving 3-pointer in the final minute, to help the Pacers fend off Atlanta's furious fourth-quarter rally for a 100-94 victory.

"I feel good about our depth," coach Frank Vogel said. "If a guy goes down, it won't be the end of the world for us."

He should.

The Pacers, who haven't won a division title since 2003-04, maintained their grip on the Central Division race, extending their lead over second-place Chicago to five games with 11 left on Indiana's schedule. The Pacers' magic number is now seven and they're back in the No. 2 slot in the Eastern Conference, a half-game ahead of the Knicks.

It sure wasn't as easy as it looked when the Pacers took a commanding 22-point lead after three quarters and Hawks coach Larry Drew emptied his bench to start the fourth. Somehow, though, the Pacers found just enough pieces to fill in and stop the Hawks on a night Atlanta could have clinched a playoff spot.

If the game proved anything, it was this: The Pacers' offseason blueprint works.

Already playing without swingman Danny Granger, who missed another game with patellar tendinosis in his left knee, and forward David West, who has now missed five straight games with a lower back sprain, the Pacers got even worse news about an hour before tip-off when Vogel announced point guard George Hill would sit out with a strained left groin and swingman Lance Stephenson, Granger's replacement, would miss the game with a strained right hip flexor.

Suddenly, Green, D.J. Augustin and Tyler Hansbrough, who has been filling in for West, were all in the starting lineup. But the Pacers just rolled on.

Indiana (44-27) played the first three quarters with as much focus, determination and precision as it had all season, then nearly gave the game away before Green saved it with his 3 from the left corner with 34 seconds to play.

"We have to play better and I think we have to look at some things, some lineups and things like that, but I think it's unacceptable to be up 25 points or 22 points at the beginning of the fourth and let it get down to four," said Hibbert, who had 17 points, 13 rebounds and three blocks. "That's just unacceptable."

Atlanta's postseason plans have been temporarily put on hold.

All the Hawks (39-32), who started the night in the No. 5 slot, needed to do to book their ticket into the NBA playoffs was beat the short-handed Pacers and watch the 76ers lose. Instead, they played dreadfully until Drew put his top players on the bench. Atlanta wound up forcing 10 fourth-quarter turnovers and trimmed an 85-63 deficit to 94-90 when John Jenkins made two free throws with 1:07 to go.

It still wasn't enough.

Josh Smith finished with 20 points. Al Horford had 13 points and eight rebounds. Jeff Teague and Shelvin Mack - two guys who grew up playing in Indiana - each finished with 10.

"We allowed the pressure to speed us up, and we allowed some (foul) calls to just completely take us out of what our focus should have been," Drew said when asked about the costly third-quarter. "It was a game that we should have, I thought, should have been a little more focused and played a little bit more composed."

Indiana, meanwhile, got key contributions from a handful of players.

Hibbert was strong on both ends of the court. Backup forward Jeff Pendergraph scored 12 of his 14 points in the first half. Hansbrough finished with 12 points and 11 rebounds. And Green, who replaced Stephenson in the lineup, put together more highlight-reel shots, including the decisive 3-pointer.

The Pacers turned a 26-26 tie after one quarter into a 58-43 halftime lead and used a 17-5 spurt to start the third quarter to put the Hawks in a 75-48 hole with 5:56 left.

But after trailing 85-63, the Hawks opened the fourth on a 14-2 run to close the deficit to 87-77 and rallied again with nine straight points late -- before Green hit the big shot to seal it.

"When he's ready to shoot and he don't have no thought, catch-and-shoot, he's dangerous," Paul George said. "I've got the confidence he's going to make that shot. It was a gutsy shot, but we'll roll with it."

Notes: Indiana and Atlanta finished the regular season by splitting their four-game series with the home team winning each game. ... Indiana now embarks on a four-game West Coast swing while the NCAA tournament's Midwest Regional comes to Indy. ... Atlanta scored 26 points in the first quarter and 31 in the fourth but managed only 37 combined in the second and third.

Notebook: Pacers 100, Hawks 94

Conrad Brunner, for NBA.com
Posted Mon Mar 25, 2013 11:04 PM - Updated Mon Mar 25, 2013 11:04 PM

THE FACTS: Rarely has such a bad shot yielded better results. With the ball, a four-point lead and 34 seconds left, Gerald Green did absolutely the wrong thing, launching a quick 3-point shot. But to the everlasting relief of the Indiana Pacers, the shot went in to help preserve a wild 100-94 victory over the Atlanta Hawks on Monday at Bankers Life Fieldhouse. Green scored 19 to lead the Pacers (44-27), who were without three injured starters. Indiana built a 28-point lead in the third quarter and then watched it reduced all the way to four by Atlanta's reserves in a wretched fourth-quarter performance that included 10 turnovers and 4-for-16 shooting. Josh Smith led the Hawks (39-32) with 20 points.

QUOTABLE: "It's not a bad shot if it goes in."

-- Indiana coach Frank Vogel on Green's late 3-pointer

THE STAT: With Jeff Pendergraph and Orlando Johnson combining for 27 points on 11-for-14 shooting, the Pacers had a 31-12 advantage in bench points in the first half. Pendergraph and Johnson combined for two points on 1-for-8 shooting in the second as Atlanta had a 36-2 advantage.

TURNING POINT: Indiana used two big runs that appeared to blow it wide open, a 25-7 burst in the second quarter sparked by Pendergraph and Johnson (who combined for 20 of the points) to open a 58-38 lead. An 18-5 burst in the third quarter pushed Indiana's lead to 79-51 and Hawks coach Larry Drew cleared his bench to start the fourth quarter, down by 22. But Indiana collapsed and the Hawks pounced. The Pacers shot 0-for-6 and committed five turnovers in a six-minute span in which the Hawks put together a 14-2 run to cut it 89-79. A steal and dunk by Green made it 94-81 with 2:59 remaining, but Atlanta wasn't done, scoring the next nine to close to 94-90 with 1:07 remaining. After the Hawks got a stop, they had the chance to cut it to two but D.J. Augustin stole the ball from John Jenkins and fed Green, who immediately fired up what turned out to be the decisive shot.

QUOTABLE II: "The disappointing thing was that we just lost our composure. We didn't handle it the right way. It just took us out of our game but I was proud of our bench. It got us down to four points at one point in the game."

-- Drew

HOT: Roy Hibbert (17 points, 13 rebounds) and Tyler Hansbrough (12 points, 11 boards) both had double-doubles for the Pacers. ... Johnson's 15 points were a career high. ... Smith shot 7-for-10 for the Hawks but did not play in the fourth quarter. ... Shelvin Mack had 10 points and four assists in 19 minutes off the Atlanta bench.

NOT: Augustin shot 1-for-6 and committed six turnovers. ... Indiana's Ian Mahinmi missed all four of his shots, did not score and pulled a single rebound in 10 minutes off the bench. ... Johan Petro got his fourth start of the season at center for the Hawks but missed all four of his shots.

QUOTABLE III: "They put five guys in that hadn't played all night and brought great energy. That's what you do when you're down 22, you try to change the game."

-- Vogel

NOTABLE: The Pacers' magic number for clinching their first Central Division title in 10 years is down to seven. ... Hansbrough had his fourth double-double in five games and fifth in six starts. ... Indiana committed 21 turnovers, breaching 20 for the 10th time. ... Kyle Korver and Johnson converted back-to-back four-point plays late in the first quarter, a rarity. ... Pendergraph hadn't attempted a 3-pointer in his first two NBA seasons but has made two in his last four games, including one in the second quarter. ... Pendergraph and Smith were hit with double technical fouls for trash-talking late in the first half. ... Indiana was missing three starters. Point guard George Hill (strained left groin) and shooting guard Lance Stephenson (sore right hip flexor) joined David West (sprained lower back) in street clothes. Vogel said there's "a good chance" both Hill and Stephenson will play Wednesday when the Pacers open a four-game road trip in Houston. ... West, who has missed five in a row, may also return during the road trip but his status for the Houston game remains in doubt. ... Danny Granger, who missed his 11th game in a row and 66th of the season with left knee tendinosis, will practice Tuesday with an eye on returning during the trip. ... Atlanta was without shooting guard Devin Harris (sore left foot), so former Pacer Dahntay Jones started at shooting guard, scoring three points.

UP NEXT: For the Pacers, Wednesday @ Houston, Thursday @ Dallas, Saturday @ Phoenix. For the Hawks, Wednesday @ Toronto, Friday @ Boston, Saturday vs. Cleveland.
