Hawks Blow Away Pacers

Trae Young scored 34 points and the Atlanta Hawks regained their 3-point touch, overwhelming the trade-depleted Indiana Pacers 133-112 on Tuesday night.

 

After making only 5 of 25 3s in Sunday's 103-94 loss at Dallas, the Hawks sank 17 of 33 long-range shots. They set a season high by making 51.5% of their 3s.

 

Young was 6 of 9 on 3s after missing each of his six in the loss at Dallas.

 

The Hawks regrouped after losing two straight games and three of four. Young, Collins and most starters sat out the fourth quarter.

 

Chris Duarte led the Pacers with 25 points. Lance Stephenson had 24 points, nine rebounds and eight assists in his first start of the season.

 

The Pacers had only eight healthy players. Thursday's six-player trade sent three players, including two-time All-Star forward Domantas Sabonis, to Sacramento.

 

Malcolm Brogdon (right Achilles soreness) and F Isaiah Jackson (right ankle sprain) were held out with injuries. Terry Taylor had seven points and 10 rebounds. Oshae Brissett had 15 points.

 

The Pacers host Cleveland on Friday night.
