The Pacers lose to the Hawks 102-92. Let’s recap the game through tweets.
1ST QUARTER
T.I. at center court performing while players have to stand on the sideline, continuing to stretch and pretend they don't care

T.I. released his latest album ‘Paperwork’ last week which sold 80,000 copies.
It's hard not to be impressed by the start that Donald Sloan has had this season. Lots of confidence, poise, and patience to his game.

I think he’s playing well for being forced into an expanded role.
Coach Vogel calls a timeout after the Hawks take an 11-point lead with 3:15 to play in the 1st. ATL 22, IND 11

It’s getting ugly.
Hawks 22, Teague 11, Pacers 11.
— Lang Whitaker (@langwhitaker) November 2, 2014
Playoff Teague is back.
Solo!!!
— Jon Washburn (@DeanOfMortgages) November 2, 2014
Solomon Hill hits a buzzer-beater to end the first quarter. 27-18 Hawks.
2ND QUARTER
Indiana running the rare "dribble yourself into a double team" offense. Interesting strategy.

Sad but. . .
COP3LAND
— Ben Gibson (@CowboyOnPatrol) November 2, 2014
It’s 40-23. Copeland hit a three but Mike Scott just returned to sender.
Cope shooting everything he touches because, why not?
— Jon Washburn (@DeanOfMortgages) November 2, 2014
This is scary but sort of fun to watch.
Now with Rodney Stuckey sidelined (sore left foot), the @Pacers have 5 of their top 6 players out with injury. Unbelievable.
— Chris Denari (@ChrisDenari) November 2, 2014
🙁
#Pacers on a 7-2 run and have cut the lead to 42-30. Copeland with 5 points.
— Candace Buckner (@CandaceDBuckner) November 2, 2014
Positive stuff.
Another run by the #Pacers. This time Chris Copeland caps seven straight points with a 3-pointer, his 2nd of the game. Indy down 48-39
— Candace Buckner (@CandaceDBuckner) November 2, 2014
The lead is five after a Chris Copeland three.
— Peachtree Hoops (@peachtreehoops) November 2, 2014
Cope is going crazy! 3-of-5 from distance. 49-44 Hawks.
Halftime in Atlanta: Hawks 51, #Pacers 44
— Indiana Pacers (@Pacers) November 2, 2014
Copeland: 11pts
Hibbert: 10pts/6rebs
Sloan: 5pts/6asts
Halftime!
3RD QUARTER
Pacers have yet to come out of the locker room. It's almost like the 6 remaining healthy players are getting every possible second of rest
— Jon Washburn (@DeanOfMortgages) November 2, 2014
They’re out now for the start of the third. Let’s see how it goes.

— Jon Washburn (@DeanOfMortgages) November 2, 2014
Kyle Korver has four fouls now… he hasn't done much tonight, just 2 points in 19 minutes
— Candace Buckner (@CandaceDBuckner) November 2, 2014
Bazemore checks in.
It's hard to believe that Donald Sloan will be able to be effective while playing the entire second half.
— Jon Washburn (@DeanOfMortgages) November 2, 2014
That regression.
12 points and 9 rebounds from Roy Hibbert, who leads Indiana in scoring. ATL 63, IND 54 with 4:11 left in the 3rd
— Indiana Pacers (@Pacers) November 2, 2014
Strong showing by Roy.
Need more of those from CJ Mies. … he hits his 2nd 3 pointer of the game and #Pacers within 65-59
— Candace Buckner (@CandaceDBuckner) November 2, 2014
Keeping it close.
Hawks lead 69-59 with 2:01 left in the 3rd. Timeout on the floor and WE HAVE T-SHIRTS
— Peachtree Hoops (@peachtreehoops) November 2, 2014
Some needed excitement in this bad game.
Lavoy Allen saves the offensive rebound to give the #Pacers a final shot before the quarter's end -- and bang. Copeland.
— Candace Buckner (@CandaceDBuckner) November 2, 2014
Copeland and Allen have been Indiana’s most reliable bench players through three games.
Rudez-Cope-Solo-Lavoy-Hibbert. If this lineup ever plays again this season...(fill in joke here)
— Jon Washburn (@DeanOfMortgages) November 2, 2014
It’s getting weird. 70-63 Hawks.
4TH QUARTER
I feel like this will be Indiana all season... good enough, but not good enough to win consistently.
— Ben Gibson (@CowboyOnPatrol) November 2, 2014
Wait ’til Mr. West is back.
Officials reviewing a potential clear path foul on Lavoy Allen.
— Peachtree Hoops (@peachtreehoops) November 2, 2014
75-65 Hawks.
After review, a Donald Sloan basket was good and he went to the line to complete the 3-point play. ATL 78, IND 68
— Indiana Pacers (@Pacers) November 2, 2014
Better than last night.
Solomon Hill is 2 for 4 from downtown tonight. Besides Scola, he's been the starter who hadn't fit so far. But tonight: 10 points, 5 rebs
— Candace Buckner (@CandaceDBuckner) November 2, 2014
#Pacers down 83-74 with 6:28 to go in the game.
— Candace Buckner (@CandaceDBuckner) November 2, 2014
I know I'm an optimistic softie, but the heart and grit this team has played with tonight is nothing short of commendable.
— Jon Washburn (@DeanOfMortgages) November 2, 2014
I laughed at the first part, John. Ha.
Good off the ball movement by Copeland. Put himself it position to shoot, but didn't get the pass.
— Ben Gibson (@CowboyOnPatrol) November 2, 2014
88-81 Hawks. 3:50 remains.
Copeland for 3! He has 21 points tonight and puts the #Pacers within 4 of the Hawks.
— Indiana Pacers (@Pacers) November 2, 2014
Cope! 93-89 Hawks.
Teague open mid range J, and Horford defensive rebound. #Hawks with the ball up 97-92 with 26.6 remaining in the game.
— Candace Buckner (@CandaceDBuckner) November 2, 2014
Welp.
Final score: Hawks 102, #Pacers 92
— Indiana Pacers (@Pacers) November 2, 2014
Copeland: 21pts/6rebs
Hibbert: 14pts/12rebs
Scola 12pts/10rebs
That’s the final score. Pacers are 1-2.
