It didn’t go well in Indiana but Atlanta has a chance to return the favor.
The Atlanta Hawks are in the midst of a four-game overall losing streak and, since the All-Star break, the results haven’t been pretty on the way to two blowout defeats. On Wednesday, the team will have a chance at something of a rematch, as the Indiana Pacers visit Philips Arena.
...it was the Pacers that ran all over the Hawks in the maiden post-break voyage. Turnovers were an issue throughout that contest for the Hawks and, while the home venue has been kinder to the team in almost every regard, ball security will be a concern in this spot.
After more than a week off for the All-Star break, the Atlanta Hawks and Indiana Pacers will be come quite familiar with each other in the coming days. On Friday evening, the two teams will kick off their post-break runs with a game in Indianapolis and, after a short hiatus, the Hawks and Pacers will again square off on Wednesday in Atlanta.
Indiana is a sterling 33-19 with Victor Oladipo in the lineup and slowing the All-Star shooting guard will be key for Atlanta’s hopes in this match-up.
Atlanta has played better basketball in recent days and, provided the team deploys its best rotation in the future, that should continue.
