Atlanta Hawks at Indiana Pacers

INDIANAPOLIS – Jay Huff scored 22 points for Indiana and the Pacers, down to six players because of injuries and rest, put a scare into the Atlanta Hawks before losing 108-104 on Monday night. Quenton Jackson added 20 points and Braden Smith had 19 points and 10 assists for the Pacers, who dropped their fifth straight game — a result that might have been considered inevitable before tipoff. But Indiana had reasonable hopes of ending the skid when Jackson stole the ball from Nickeil Alexander-Walker and converted a layup to get the Pacers within 106-104 with 1:36 left. Jackson missed a 3-pointer with 43.1 seconds remaining that would have given Indiana the lead, and Atlanta's Onyeka Okongwu converted a jumper with 10.2 seconds left for the final margin.
