The Indiana Pacers brought the Logo's 2nd best W-L Record to their contest with the Atlanta Hawks on Tuesday Night only to find themselves in a nip and tuck situation late.

The Pacers down 43-32 at the break playing a Hawks/Pacers Pace called Eastern Conference Playoff Basketball. Gold Swagger didn't show up until the start of the 3rd frame as the Pacers put a 24-12 "Blue Collar" Beat down on the Hawks. Only to find themselves in a photo finish as the Hawks got as close as two points under 15 seconds remaining to lose 89-85.

Some 37 turnovers between the two will get you in a Tuesday Night Fight like this one. David West led Gold Swagger with 22 points as he also grabbed ten Oranges. All-Star Starter Paul George netted 18 points and seven boards with "Lance of the BK' adding 10 as the only three Pacers in double figures. 80% from the Stripe on 20 attempts put Gold Swagger in the Winner's Circle as the Hawks poor 3rd frame cost them.

ATL gets 15 points from Mike Scott and 12 from Elton Brand...Elton Who? from #DukeInTheNBA former #1 Overall Pick. Believe it or not they were the only two players in double figures for the Hawks as they had all eleven players dressed hit the score book. Hawks All-Star Milsap had just 7 pints and grabbed a dozen boards. The Hawks inability to knock down the Money Ball and slow down both West and PG-24 also put them in the "L" Column.

Pacers move to 38-10 and the Hawks fall to 25-22 playing some really good ball in 2013-14...
