1ST QUARTER
Might I interest you in some Pacers-Hawks, Game 7, from the Best Basketball Arena in the World?

Here we go.
Hibbert's starting. Boomer's yella. The Pacers are wearing gold. This is like aversion therapy for me.
— Tim Donahue (@TimDonahueZ) May 3, 2014
Stress is at an all-time high and the game hasn’t started.
Jeff with the steal and SLAM!
— Atlanta Hawks (@ATLHawks) May 3, 2014
Hibbert. Hibbert. Hibbert.
Likely.
BREAKING: Roy Hibbert just scored.
— Howard Beck (@HowardBeck) May 3, 2014
First points for Indiana. 4-2 at this point.
After a slow start, Pacers are finding offense, recently with a Paul George cut under the rim and reverse slam. Korver? Back-to-back 3's
— Shane Young (@YoungNBA) May 3, 2014
12-7 Atlanta up.
I have some Atlanta 3-pointers/strip clubs and making it rain joke... but no.
— Ben Gibson (@CowboyOnPatrol) May 3, 2014
James Harden is in Atlanta?
Paul George can't be screened. Stop trying. His ability to slither around one there lead to a break, FTs.
— 8 Points, 9 Seconds (@8pts9secs) May 3, 2014
Paul George’s length. Holy.
Roy has 6 points. Hasn't been a huge problem on the defensive end, though not really helping either.
— 8 Points, 9 Seconds (@8pts9secs) May 3, 2014
Big Dawg has six points.
Kill 'em, Big Fella. #Vindication?
— Jon Washburn (@DeanOfMortgages) May 3, 2014
8 points!
Ha.
Lance drive and kick to the corner for a Watson jumper. Wide-open after the fake, dribble. So easy.
— 8 Points, 9 Seconds (@8pts9secs) May 3, 2014
Small Ball.
I'm so terrified of this upcoming second quarter.
— Jon Washburn (@DeanOfMortgages) May 3, 2014
I’m glad I don’t have a heavy rooting interest in one NBA team.
End of the 1st quarter:
— Indiana Pacers (@Pacers) May 3, 2014
Hawks 23#Pacers 24
Hibbert: 8pts/3rebs Stephenson: 5pts/5rebs/3asts
End of 1st.
2ND QUARTER
That's 1. #CopelandCount
— Nilla Nillanovic (@JayNilla) May 3, 2014
Cope hit a three. Spacing.
Kyle is all like... pic.twitter.com/PPrg6lnPgW
— Atlanta Hawks (@ATLHawks) May 3, 2014
Korver four point play.
One of the few legal screens of the series there by Antic to free Korver for four-ver.
— 8 Points, 9 Seconds (@8pts9secs) May 3, 2014
Antic is Kevin Garnett’s cousin?
So, uh, who is that behind Larry Bird? pic.twitter.com/cGsggnmkrq

“I’ma need you to explain this.”
Lance playing well. Nice work in the post there and was great right before playing D on Korver inside the arc.
— 8 Points, 9 Seconds (@8pts9secs) May 3, 2014
Bourne.
Paul Millsap has 0 points on 0-for-6 shooting. He was, I believe, 3-for-14 in Game 6. Can't say I foresaw this earlier in the series.
— 8 Points, 9 Seconds (@8pts9secs) May 3, 2014
Millsap is averaging 20 and 8 in the series.
Can both these teams go home today?
— alex (@steven_lebron) May 3, 2014
I wouldn’t mind it.
Double digit lead for Pacers as George Hill scores on a runout. This place is ecstatic
— Shane Young (@YoungNBA) May 3, 2014
Live from the Fieldhouse.
November Paul George is here. Pacers poaching Hawks. This can't be legal.
— 8 Points, 9 Seconds (@8pts9secs) May 3, 2014
Is this a dream?
Paul gets his third foul. Potentially huge call.
— Tim Donahue (@TimDonahueZ) May 3, 2014
Crowd chants flopper.
SMOTHERED CHICKEN
— Zach Lowe (@ZachLowe_NBA) May 3, 2014
IAN MAHINMI OH MY GOD. WHAT A BLOCK.
A MONSTER block by Mahinmi ends the first half!
— Indiana Pacers (@Pacers) May 3, 2014
Halftime at @TheFieldhouse:
Hawks 36#Pacers 47
I’m still eating smothered chicken though. The half.
HALFTIME
I’m not used to someone on the TNT set sounding smart.
Woah. RT @ESPNStatsInfo: Paul Millsap shot 0-9 in the first half, his most field-goal attempts without a make in any half of his career.
— Candace Buckner (@CandaceDBuckner) May 3, 2014
WHOA.
3RD QUARTER
LET. LANCE. LIVE!!!!!!!!!!!!
— Nilla Nillanovic (@JayNilla) May 3, 2014
Lance letting it loose. And-1 Mixtape pass.
Best part about that Lance coast-to-coast was Korver thinking he had the steal, but Lance was side-eying him the whole time..
— Tim Donahue (@TimDonahueZ) May 3, 2014
Didn’t notice this.
Atlanta bigs starting to turn down open 3s. They have to take them or they aren't scoring.
— Nate Duncan (@NateDuncanNBA) May 3, 2014
Atlanta passing up open three-point shots.
David West just got a tech for yelling at Antic on the way to the huddle.
— Dave “Mortgages” Searle (@MillerTimePod) May 3, 2014
57-43, Pacers.
Hawks down to 0.74 points per poss. That's bad.
— Nate Duncan (@NateDuncanNBA) May 3, 2014
2-15 from the field for Atlanta at this point.
Standing O for Roy.
— Tim Donahue (@TimDonahueZ) May 3, 2014
He fell and looked clumsy but just hit another in the paint.
Maybe cover Shelvin Mack?
— Mike Prada. (PRAY-duh) (@MikePradaNBA) May 3, 2014
68-58. Mack is bringing that flavor in ya ear.
Shelvin Mack and Mike Scott giving Atlanta a lift. This is not over. Hawks only down eight entering the fourth.

Here. We. Go. If you’re reading this now, you know the outcome of the game. Feel the suspense.
4TH QUARTER
Tony Brothers… my god.
— Nilla Nillanovic (@JayNilla) May 3, 2014
Tech on Lance. I’m pretty sure he got hit in the face. .
Lance called for a technical for getting hit in the face by Millsap.
— Tim Donahue (@TimDonahueZ) May 3, 2014
Yup.
Stop it, Paul George. Just stop. Ridiculous floater.
— SB Nation NBA (Click the pic to read 🔽) (@SBNationNBA) May 3, 2014
November Paul George. Hitting mid-range shots and floaters while eating smothered chicken.
David West awfully angry about a call for a guy who just shoved someone out of bounds.
— 8 Points, 9 Seconds (@8pts9secs) May 3, 2014
Angry West is in the building.
Anyone else worried that PG and the Pacers cheered a LITTLE too hard when there were still 9+ minutes left in this game?
— Jon Washburn (@DeanOfMortgages) May 3, 2014
You know if they won or lost.
That David West dime was so pretty. Precision passing. Not used to that.
— 8 Points, 9 Seconds (@8pts9secs) May 3, 2014
One of the best.
Ian Mahinmi broke Playoff Teague.
— whitney medworth (@its_whitney) May 3, 2014
He’s dead.
Hibbert has no right to gloat tonight because he was unfathomably bad for two months. But haters also have to give him his due. #GreatGame
— Jon Washburn (@DeanOfMortgages) May 4, 2014
13 points, 7 boards. 6-of-10 shooting.
Indiana Pacers beat Atlanta Hawks 92-80 in Game 7, advance to 2nd round. #NBA
