Al Horford and Paul Millsap each scored 18 points, Kyle Korver added 14 and the Hawks used a blistering third quarter to rout the Indiana Pacers, 104-75. Indiana's 75 points were a season low for the team and for an Atlanta opponent as they held stars Paul George and Monta Ellis to a combined 17 points.
The Pacers had won three straight, but dropped 2 1/2 games behind Atlanta for the sixth Eastern Conference playoff spot.
The Hawks went on a 20-0 run and finished the third with seven 3s, the last coming by reserve forward Kris Humphries to make it a 34-point lead. Atlanta, which was coming off a Saturday night win over Memphis, has won five of its last six.
Indiana rookie Myles Turner, who scored a team-high 19 points, was the only starter for either team to play in the fourth.
George, a starting forward in the NBA All-Star game, finished with just seven points for the Pacers, almost 19 below his team-leading average, on 3-for-15 shooting. He insisted the Pacers' back-to-back road games weren't a deciding factor.
Atlanta went 15 for 30 beyond the arc. The Pacers went 5 for 24.
