What’s the buzz on Twitter?
David Hardisty @clutchfansBrooklyn narrowly edged NYC and BOS lost. But, ATL and LAC both won. With 14 games to go, the first-round pick owed to the #Rockets is #16. The team with the #17 pick holds a three-game lead in the loss column. If vaccine mandate holds, Kyrie can only play in four more games. pic.twitter.com/jdu50GyztR – 12:22 AM Trae Young @TheTraeYoung

4-0 props today! KD smash, Pels bounce back, Trae lights up the Pacers, and lots of young guys going off.

Haslem on Herro: “People were like, ‘I was crazy to co-sign Tyler being in the conversation with Luka and Trae Young.’ People thought I was crazy to co-sign. I was like, ‘I’m not crazy. I know what I see.'”

#Pacers rally late, but #Hawks hang on behind Trae Young’s 47 points indystar.com/story/sports/n… via @indystar – 10:08 PM James Boyd @RomeovilleKid
Rick Carlisle on Tyrese Haliburton: “He played a lot of minutes. More than I would’ve liked, but he really wanted to be in there. He wanted to be in there the entire time that (Trae) Young was in there. Our 3Q was good. Our 4Q was better, and Ty had a lot to do with it.” #Pacers – 10:02 PM James Boyd @RomeovilleKid
Rick Carlisle: “The first half we were a bit sluggish, and I think we were scoring some points, but defensively we were not doing a good job. (Trae) Young got off to a great start.”
Young scored 33 of his 47 points in the first half. #Pacers – 9:56 PM Jeff Stotts @InStreetClothes

The Hawks gave up 1.3 points per possession to the Pacers, who were on the second night of a back-to-back and only had 8 players available. Good god – 9:31 PM James Boyd @RomeovilleKid

Tyrese Haliburton had 25 pts and 10 asts. Buddy Hield 22. Duane Washington Jr. 22. Isaiah Jackson 12 and 15. Jalen Smith 13 and 10. Terry Taylor 16.
Trae Young had 47. – 9:31 PM Tony East @TEastNBA
Hawks beat the Pacers 131-128. Pacers cut the lead down from 19 all the way down to 2 and had a chance at the lead, but just couldn’t quite get it done. Trae Young had 47.
Solid performance from the Pacers, given that they had 8 guys available on a travel back to back. – 9:30 PM Scott Agness @ScottAgness
Shorthanded Pacers trailed by 19 but fought back, were +15 in 2H in 131-128 loss in Atlanta. Trae Young was too much. 47pts, 7/10 3s, 14/14 FTs.
Haliburton with 25/10a, 25 for Hield, Wash scored 22, Jackson had 12/15 and Smith added 13/10.
Up next: Tues. v Grizzlies. – 9:29 PM StatMuse @statmuse

5 AST
13-20 FG
7-10 3P
It’s his 23rd 40-point game. Only Dominique Wilkins and Bob Pettit have more in Hawks history. pic.twitter.com/2HeNbyuASz – 9:29 PM Chris Kirschner @ChrisKirschner

Bogdanovic: 13/4/6, 4/12 FG
Okongwu: 13/9, 6/11 FG – 9:29 PM Sarah K. Spencer @sarah_k_spence
Obviously not a good sign for the Hawks that this game went down to the wire, but they survive against a depleted Pacers team, 131-128.
Atlanta’s 33-34 and tomorrow vs. Portland has the chance to finally get back up to .500 for the first time since Dec. 15, when it was 14-14. – 9:29 PM Kevin Chouinard @KLChouinard
Hawks win, 131-128.
Trae Young finishes with 47. – 9:28 PM Jason Walker @JasonWalkerNBA
Hawks have the worst home cooking. Calls made against them in their own building that I never see anywhere else. – 9:28 PM Jason Walker @JasonWalkerNBA
Pacers without a timeout, I’d probably have had Tyrese miss that one. – 9:26 PM Scott Agness @ScottAgness
I get why they challenged. But I don’t think it was close. Foul on Brissett will send Trae Young, who’s 10/10 on free throws, to the line. 28.8s left. – 9:20 PM Chris Kirschner @ChrisKirschner
Pacers were called for a loose ball foul on Haliburton’s missed shot.
Pacers challenged and lost.
Hawks now at the FT line up 125-123 with 28.8 seconds to go. – 9:20 PM Jason Walker @JasonWalkerNBA
Smith went completely over the back of Hunter before Brissett went over the back of Trae. – 9:18 PM James Boyd @RomeovilleKid
Tyrese Haliburton misses the go-ahead 3. #Pacers still down 125-123 with 28.8 seconds left. Oshae Brissett was called for a loose ball foul, but Indiana is challenging the call. pic.twitter.com/ELMMPvBe9J – 9:18 PM Kevin Chouinard @KLChouinard
Pacers are challenging a loose-ball foul with 28.8 left.
Hawks up 2 at the moment.
With the bonus, FTs for the Hawks if call not overturned. – 9:18 PM Tony East @TEastNBA
Pacers are down 2 with the ball and have a chance to tie the game in Atlanta late. Impressive comeback from the blue and gold, but they haven’t done enough yet. – 9:18 PM Chris Kirschner @ChrisKirschner
Kevin Huerter just got called for a charge.
Pacers can take the lead here with 52 seconds to go…. – 9:16 PM James Boyd @RomeovilleKid
Two-point game! #Pacers have the ball and a chance to tie. – 9:16 PM Chris Kirschner @ChrisKirschner
2-point game.
Hawks up 125-123 with 1:09 to go. – 9:16 PM Indiana Pacers @Pacers

Oshae Brissett airballed a 3 that would’ve cut the lead to 2. Trae Young comes back with a step back one-legged jumper to give him 43 points. Hawks lead 125-118 with 1:53 left. – 9:12 PM Scott Agness @ScottAgness
Pacers all of a sudden within 3 via a 14-3. Made this very interesting. They’ve outscored the Hawks by 10 in the 4th. – 9:10 PM James Boyd @RomeovilleKid
3-point game after a Haliburton 3! #Pacers – 9:10 PM Jason Walker @JasonWalkerNBA
Open three-point shots just not going and guys passing out of open shots in the lane is a bad combination when the Pacers are selling out against Trae. – 9:09 PM Kevin Chouinard @KLChouinard
Hawks up, 118-112, with 3:54 left. Hawks have gotten (and missed) good looks since Trae returned – with the exception of one dud after the last time out. – 9:08 PM Sarah K. Spencer @sarah_k_spence
… Hawks’ lead is down to six, 118-112, with 3:54 to play.
Just haven’t been able to limit the Pacers (who are extremely short-handed and playing on the second half of a back-to-back) enough to put this one away. – 9:08 PM James Boyd @RomeovilleKid
The lead is six with 3:54 left. #Pacers are showing some fight here, trailing 118-112. – 9:07 PM Tony East @TEastNBA
Nice move by Jalen Smith, and now 7 (out of 8 available) Pacers are in double figures. They’re down just 8. – 9:07 PM Indiana Pacers @Pacers
Effort.
@Jalen Smith pic.twitter.com/iJn6Lft0Mj – 9:06 PM Kevin Chouinard @KLChouinard
Trae Young is at the table with 7 minutes left. Pacers have stayed within arm’s reach. – 8:59 PM James Boyd @RomeovilleKid
Tyrese is heating up a bit, but the Hawks still lead 113-102 with about 8 minutes to play. #Pacers – 8:55 PM Kevin Chouinard @KLChouinard
Gallinari drove the lane, pump faked, pump faked again, didn’t like what he saw, and threw it off a Pacer leg to get the ball back and avoid a 3-second violation. – 8:51 PM Indiana Pacers @Pacers
3 down pic.twitter.com/82waxJ8rBU – 8:48 PM Kevin Chouinard @KLChouinard
Hawks got a tech for their second delay-of-game violation of the game. – 8:48 PM Jason Walker @JasonWalkerNBA
Pacers did everything they could to stop Trae and he still got to 41 through three quarters. – 8:47 PM Tony East @TEastNBA
Pacers make up some ground in the third frame, but still trail 105-92 after three quarters. Just don’t have the bodies to defend this Hawks team + this Trae Young (41 points) performance.
All 5 Pacers starters are now in double figures. – 8:46 PM James Boyd @RomeovilleKid
End of 3Q: #Hawks 105, #Pacers 92
Difference in this game is Trae Young and turnovers. He has 40 points, and Indiana has committed 13 turnovers leading to 21 points for Atlanta. – 8:46 PM Sarah K. Spencer @sarah_k_spence
Hawks will take a 105-92 lead vs. the Pacers into the fourth quarter.
Trae Young has 41 points (12-18 FG, 7-10 from 3, 10-10 FT). – 8:45 PM Atlanta Hawks PR @HawksPR
Trae Young has notched his 23rd career game with 40+ points, surpassing Tracy McGrady for sixth-most in NBA history for any player age 23 or younger. – 8:44 PM Kevin Chouinard @KLChouinard
Trae is getting a lot of attention a long way from the basketball goal. pic.twitter.com/QAso2vjP91 – 8:42 PM Scott Agness @ScottAgness
Pacers staying within reasonable distance because although the Hawks are 15/26 from 3, the Pacers have made 50%, 12/24. Down 12.
Can they sustain enough to make another run, especially given their unique situation? – 8:40 PM Atlanta Hawks PR @HawksPR
Kevin Huerter has now connected on at least four three-pointers in three straight games. It’s the first time in his career Huerter has knocked down at least four triples in three consecutive outings. – 8:38 PM Jason Walker @JasonWalkerNBA
Trae Young, for all the elite scoring and passing, is also super fast. He broke away for that last break layup like the Pacers were my age. – 8:35 PM Atlanta Hawks PR @HawksPR
With his first three-pointer of the game, Bogdan Bogdanovic has tied Josh Smith for 17th on the Hawks all-time 3FGM list (267). He’s also extended his made triples streak to a career-high 29 straight games – tied for the fifth-longest streak in franchise history. – 8:34 PM James Boyd @RomeovilleKid
#Pacers cut the lead to 7 twice, but it’s back up to 12. Trae Young has 37. – 8:34 PM Indiana Pacers @Pacers
rally caps are on 🧢 pic.twitter.com/Ki2hGHRktF – 8:31 PM Kevin Chouinard @KLChouinard
Per Hawks PR, Trae’s 33 points was the most by a player in a first half this season. – 8:31 PM Tony East @TEastNBA
Pacers are swarming Trae Young while simultaneously finding their own rhythm on offense. A much better 3rd quarter, so far, than either of the first two. It’s 87-77 now. – 8:31 PM Atlanta Hawks PR @HawksPR
Trae Young became the first player in the NBA this season to score at least 33 points in an opening half. Young’s the fifth player to do so in either half this season (done four times in second half). – 8:30 PM Sarah K. Spencer @sarah_k_spence
Pacers have made this a 10-point game, outscoring the Hawks 18-10 to start the third quarter, and Nate McMillan calls timeout. – 8:29 PM James Boyd @RomeovilleKid
#Pacers showing some life. They’ve cut the lead to 87-77 after that Oshae Brissett 3. – 8:29 PM Indiana Pacers @Pacers
think this one may have touched the ceiling
@Tyrese Haliburton | #GoldBlooded pic.twitter.com/toQhxtJoi3 – 8:28 PM Jason Walker @JasonWalkerNBA
Huerter has tossed a couple wyd passes in this quarter. – 8:27 PM Atlanta Hawks PR @HawksPR
The Hawks scored 77 points in the first of half tonight’s contest, marking a season-high for points in either half. Atlanta’s previous season-high was 76 points, set on 2/8 against Indiana. – 8:25 PM Atlanta Hawks PR @HawksPR
Trae Young tallied 33 points on 9-13 FG, 7-9 3FG and 8-8 FT in the first half. It’s the first time in his career he’s notched 30+ points on 7+ triples in a single half, while his 33 points marks a career-high for points in a single half (previously 31, done twice). – 8:22 PM Chris Kirschner @ChrisKirschner
Trae Young’s 33 points in the first half are tied for the third-most points this season in any half, per @StatMuse.
Giannis (35)
Tatum (34)
LeBron (33)
Randle (33)
Those were each done in the second half, so Trae has now scored the most points in a first half this season. – 8:15 PM Tony East @TEastNBA
Trae Young’s 33 points are the second most a player has scored in a first half vs the Pacers ever. Only Klay Thompson, who scored 40 in December of 2016, had a better scoring first half. Thompson finished with 60 points in 29 minutes. – 8:11 PM Indiana Pacers @Pacers

Hawks up 77-59 on the Pacers at the half. Trae Young had 33 (!) points and could not miss. He was unbelievable. Washington, Hield, and Jackson were all in double figures for the Pacers, but Indiana had 10 first half turnovers. Tough game, circumstanially, for the Pacers. – 8:08 PM James Boyd @RomeovilleKid
Halftime: #Hawks 77, #Pacers 59
Trae Young is going off. He has 33 points and seven 3s. (Incoming 50-ball?)
Buddy Hield has 16, Duane Washington Jr. 11 and Isaiah Jackson 10. – 8:07 PM Sarah K. Spencer @sarah_k_spence

Trae Young has 33 points on 9/13 shooting and is 7/9 from 3.
It is halftime.
Hawks up 77-59 over the Pacers – 8:06 PM Scott Agness @ScottAgness
Trae Young carving up the Pacers and in a nice groove.
33pts in the FIRST HALF, 7 for 9 from range. Hawks up 77-59.
He’s been very good against the Pacers — typically going for 30+ pts and 10+ asts. – 8:05 PM Indiana Pacers @Pacers
OK, @TerryTaylor21!!! pic.twitter.com/OSwQrm8wkJ – 8:04 PM Kevin Chouinard @KLChouinard
Trae has 31 in the first half and he’s headed to the FT line in the half’s final seconds. – 8:04 PM James Boyd @RomeovilleKid
Trae Young just had a nasty crossover on Terry Taylor before pulling up and draining a 3. He’s got 28 and the #Pacers trail 72-58. – 8:03 PM Tony East @TEastNBA
FIrst half double-double for Isaiah Jackson, who has 10 points and 11 rebounds. – 8:00 PM Atlanta Hawks PR @HawksPR
With his first block of the game, Clint Capela has recorded his 700th career rejection. – 7:57 PM Atlanta Hawks PR @HawksPR
Trae Young has poured in 20-or-more points in a first half for the 10th time this season, tied with Devin Booker and Joel Embiid for the most 20+ point first halves in the NBA this season. – 7:52 PM James Boyd @RomeovilleKid
Trae Young now up to 20 points with four 3s. #Pacers trail 57-43. – 7:52 PM Indiana Pacers @Pacers

Pacers trail 37-28 after one quarter. This is going to be a tough night for their defense given who is available, and 7 first quarter turnovers doesn’t help.
Buddy Hield leads the way with 7 points. – 7:34 PM James Boyd @RomeovilleKid
End of 1Q: #Hawks 37, #Pacers 28
Buddy Hield and Duane Washington Jr. have 7 and 6 points, respectively.
Indiana committed 7 turnovers. – 7:34 PM Atlanta Hawks PR @HawksPR
Clint Capela swiped three steals in tonight’s opening quarter, marking the second time in his career he’s recorded at least three steals in a single quarter (12/17/18, 2nd quarter). He’s the first Hawks center to notch 3+ steals in a first quarter since Al Horford (2/9/10). – 7:34 PM Sarah K. Spencer @sarah_k_spence
After the first quarter: Hawks 37, Pacers 28
Trae Young had 14 points (5-8 FG, 3-4 from 3, 1-1 FT), 2 assists, 2 rebounds and a steal in 10 minutes. – 7:32 PM Tony East @TEastNBA
Weird quarter from Haliburton, who is playing at a good pace but feels out of sync. He has three turnovers this frame, Pacers have 6 as a team. Whole group is out of sync, really. – 7:32 PM James Boyd @RomeovilleKid
Tyrese Haliburton with his third turnover of the first quarter. #Pacers guard just looks out of sync. – 7:30 PM Indiana Pacers @Pacers

Trae Young is something else, man. Throws an alley-oop assist to Clint Capela. #Pacers call timeout trailing 13-5. – 7:16 PM Atlanta Hawks PR @HawksPR
With his first three-pointer of the evening, Kevin Huerter has extended his made triples streak to 18 straight games – the third-longest streak of his career. – 7:14 PM James Boyd @RomeovilleKid
Tyrese Haliburton with two careless turnovers early. That last one led to an and-1 layup by Trae Young, #Pacers trail 11-5. – 7:14 PM James Boyd @RomeovilleKid

The #Pacers are on a very unique back-to-back. Lost an hour because of the time change from CT to ET going from San Antonio to Atlanta and then lost another hour because of daylight savings.
Personally, I’m feeling it a bit. But hey, this is the NBA!

Skills and drills with Lance Stephenson and assistant Jannero Pargo. Stephenson is missing his fourth straight game due to a left ankle sprain, but this is a good sign. #Pacers pic.twitter.com/EtM6UmyrAh – 6:20 PM Atlanta Hawks PR @HawksPR
Bogdan Bogdanovic has connected on at least one three-pointer in a career-high 28 straight games. His 28 consecutive games with at least one triple is tied with Mookie Blaylock for the sixth-longest such streak in franchise history. – 6:18 PM Sean Grande @SeanGrandePBP

Awesome sequence for Nic Claxton. Picks up Barrett on the perimeter and forces a miss. Hits a tough jump hook over Robinson. Then comes up with a steal on the next possession. He did a good job earlier in the year checking Trae, and Luka. Solid effort on Embiid last game. – 1:52 PM Sirius XM NBA @SiriusXMNBA
