Hawks Rout Pacers, 90-69 

Kevin C. Cox/Getty Images(ATLANTA) -- The Atlanta Hawks cruised past the Indiana Pacers 90-69 on Saturday night to pull within one-game of tying the series up at two. 

Al Horford dominated Indiana the entire game and finished with 26 points and 16 rebounds in the rout.

Atlanta went on a 42-10 run in the first half to finish the first half with a 54-30 lead and would not look back.

Josh Smith chipped in with 14 points and six assists in the victory.  Jeff Teague added 13.

"We were ready to go," Hawks head coach Larry Drew said. "Before the game, I went in the locker room to give my speech and it was quiet in there. That told me they were focused."

Paul George was held in check with 16 points in the loss and David West contributed with 18.

The Hawks will look to even up the series in Game 4 on Monday night.

Paul George's Triple-Double Propels Pacers Past Hawks

Andy Lyons/Getty Images(INDIANAPOLIS) -- Paul George put up his first postseason triple-double of his young career, as he lead the Indiana Pacers past the Atlanta Hawks, 107-90 Sunday, in Game 1 of their first-round playoff matchup.

The 22-year-old George finished the game with 23 points, 11 rebounds, and 12 assists.

The game was never in doubt: The Pacers took the lead at the 6:26 mark of the first quarter and never gave it back.

"We pressured up," George said. "We started to use our hands. A team like that, you can't let them be comfortable. We're doing a great job of just taking away their airspace."

The Pacers had six players score in double digits.

Jeff Teague led the Hawks with 21 points. The Hawks actually shot 50 percent from the field, but only shot 7 for 14 from the free-throw line. By comparison, the Pacers converted 30 of their 34 attempts from the charity stripe.

Game 2 is set for Wednesday in Indianapolis. Tip-off expected at 7:30 pm Eastern time.
