Pacers reactions to Siakam taking the uncontested dunk instead of trying to hit a 3 to tie at the end of the game last night.
Hawks inbounded with a second left, got fouled, intentionally missed the FT, and won the game. pic.x.com/F2vb21ONxt – 10:14 AM

Carlisle on Pascal Siakam’s dunk with 1.3s left, down by three.
“He must’ve thought that there was more time. You could tell when he laid the ball in that he knew it was a mistake. Those things happen. But, that’s not the thing to focus on.” – 10:38 PM

A rough 4Q was costly for the Pacers, outscored 38-24 in a 124-118 L in Atlanta.
Former Pacer Georges Niang scored 12 of his 24pts in the 4Q. Felt like Pacers were too slow in getting Siakam (35pts) back in the 4th, and not enough stops. Then ATL made its FTs
Next: Rematch Sat. – 9:56 PM

Nine straight points from Myles Turner, who’s helped the Pacers put an end to a 12-2 Hawks run.
Both Turner (13) and Siakam (10) already in double figures.
Hawks scoring too easily in the paint (32 of 48pts). – 8:24 PM

That’s now five straight games the Pacers have NOT trailed after 1 — after playing from behind in the previous 8 of 9 games.
They lead the Hawks by 10, shooting 50% and led by 8pts from Siakam. – 8:07 PM
