Roy Hibbert was ‘noogied’ like a middle school nerd but the Pacers took Game 2. Here’s a timeline of the game through tweets.
1ST QUARTER
George starts off defending Jeff Teague. Hill is chasing Korver around screens.
David West gets ball early in shot clock. Paul George in post. Hibbert letting Antic shoot. Good stuff.
— Dave “Mortgages” Searle (@MillerTimePod) April 22, 2014
Some nice passing early.
Lance gotta chew up Korver. Nice move there for the layup.
— 8 Points, 9 Seconds (@8pts9secs) April 22, 2014
No, Korver cannot muscle up Lance.
Millsap pulls Hibbert away from the hoop, Teague drives left right by George and the hoop is open. Looks like Game 1.
— Mike Prada. (PRAY-duh) (@MikePradaNBA) April 22, 2014
Playoff Teague is still destroying anybody in front of him.
Whether its Paul George or George Hill guarding Teague, they need to recognize when ATL is 5 out and refuse to get beat off the dribble.
— 8 Points, 9 Seconds (@8pts9secs) April 22, 2014
Okay, Teague really what is going on?
Roy air balled that dunk
— 8 Points, 9 Seconds (@8pts9secs) April 22, 2014
Hilarious dunk attempt by Hibbert. It went right over the rim.

That’s 18 percent.
End of the 1st quarter:
— Indiana Pacers (@Pacers) April 22, 2014
Hawks 26#Pacers 21
Paul George: 7pts/3rebs/3asts David West: 4pts/2rebs
End of 1st quarter.
2ND QUARTER
Frank Vogel did a commercial for Dove’s men’s soap. Vogel is getting paid out here.
ARGENTINE FORCE #Scola
— Shane Young (@YoungNBA) April 22, 2014
Scola is starting to take over at this point. Did I type that? He’s hitting 18 footers easy.
hawks are too good for this league
— Rembert Browne (@rembert) April 22, 2014
Agree.
Scola's trying. Goes to rim, gets offensive board around three blue jerseys and scores again. Good leadership by the vet
— Candace Buckner (@CandaceDBuckner) April 22, 2014
Scola out here y’all.
Smashmouth lost. It's over. Just put your best players on the court and win. Watson, Hill, Lance, PG, West. Ride your talent.
— 8 Points, 9 Seconds (@8pts9secs) April 22, 2014
A lineup suggestion by Coach Wade. Hawks’ five out offense has completely changed the series.
That's Watts, son.
— 8 Points, 9 Seconds (@8pts9secs) April 23, 2014
Watts up with that? 10-2 run.
Roy's coming back in? For what? Vogel might could be on drugs.
— 8 Points, 9 Seconds (@8pts9secs) April 23, 2014
I hear it’s a Dove’s men’s soap overdose.
The Pacers said they “had something” to stop Jeff Teague from getting in the lane. I think they must have left it on the bus.

Jeff Teague doesn’t care who is in front of him. He will blow by you.
Beautiful spacing and ball movement gets PG a triple. Amazing what you can do without an anchor clogging up the lane.
— 8 Points, 9 Seconds (@8pts9secs) April 23, 2014
C.J. Watson hit a open three right after this. It’s 52-48 at the half.
HALFTIME
Halftime numbers: ATL has successfully completed 22 of 40 screens. Indy is 11 of 23. So, yeah...ATL sets twice as many picks. Means what?
— Jon Washburn (@DeanOfMortgages) April 23, 2014
Washburn was keeping up with screening success during the first half.
Roy is a great rim protector. He has a lot of talent in that regard—it's just utterly useless against ATL's offense. Recognize. Adjust.
— 8 Points, 9 Seconds (@8pts9secs) April 23, 2014
Frank can’t hear you, Jared. He’s still deciding whether to choose Dove soap or Axe body wash.
Okay I feel bad now. Wait, he’s making $14,283,844 million dollars this year. I don’t feel as bad now.
3RD QUARTER
Could use some Dennis Hopper in here. RT @TimDonahue8p9s: Vogel trying to get a technical. Not succeeding.
— 8 Points, 9 Seconds (@8pts9secs) April 23, 2014
Don’t get the reference but it seems funny.
George Hill lays it in and ties the game at 59. He's scored all 6 of his points here in the 3rd quarter.
— Indiana Pacers (@Pacers) April 23, 2014
We are tied.
BOURNE READY.
— 8 Points, 9 Seconds (@8pts9secs) April 23, 2014
Tell these fools that Lance is back.
Mr. West: It's not where you're from it's where ya at. #InTheBuilding
— 8 Points, 9 Seconds (@8pts9secs) April 23, 2014
“Every time I breathe on a track, I asthma attack it.”
I get finding the open man, but David West just kicked the ball out when he had the 6'9' 135 lb. Mike Scott guarding him.
— Tim Donahue (@TimDonahueZ) April 23, 2014
Soaking wet with a brick hanging from waist.
Pacers starting to run.
I miss this kind of Pacers basketball.
— Ben Gibson (@CowboyOnPatrol) April 23, 2014
Pacers having fun now.
Paul George isn't nice to birds.
— 8 Points, 9 Seconds (@8pts9secs) April 23, 2014
1. Is this True or False? True.
Pacers outscore Hawks 31-13 in the third quarter.
4TH QUARTER
Aggressive George Hill makes this Pacer offense so much more effective.
— Tim Donahue (@TimDonahueZ) April 23, 2014
San Antonio Hill was fun.
85-65 Pacers. I wish I could switch games. I don’t have NBA TV at my apartment.
I'd gladly eat at Shelvin Mack's Smothered Chicken Shack.
— 8 Points, 9 Seconds (@8pts9secs) April 23, 2014
Mahinmi ate it first.
Pacers just doing General Sherman-level war crime stuff to Atlanta now. 19-0 run and 41-12 since the half.
— 8 Points, 9 Seconds (@8pts9secs) April 23, 2014
Related: Hawks won 37 games.
Paul George: 24 points, 10 rebounds, 6 assists, 4 steals, 1 block, 1 TO. +29
— Tim Donahue (@TimDonahueZ) April 23, 2014
6:58 left.
Look at all these aggressive rebounds. AMPED. Did Vogel give them blow at half time? I think it's against the CBA but whatever works.
— 8 Points, 9 Seconds (@8pts9secs) April 23, 2014
Adderall, too.
I mean no offense, but this series is the Pacers vs. the Pacers demons. The Hawks are just standing in.
— Tony Rehagen (@trehagen) April 23, 2014
Still have to enter the Phillips Fortress for Games 3 and 4.
"We want Copeland" chant audible on TV.
— Ben Gibson (@CowboyOnPatrol) April 23, 2014
Hopefully they like the headband.
Pacers scored 27 points in the second quarter. Hawks have 27 points so far in the second half.

“Welcome to Atlanta where the players play.”
Little disappointed no one got this reference. Jermaine Dupri? Ludacris? This was likely my most played song on my first iPod.
