Hawks take a 2-1 series lead over top seed Pacers: Point guard Jeff Teague scores double-double to lead Hawks to win

When this series began I thought that the Indiana Pacers would figure out their chemistry issues, and defeat the Atlanta Hawks in five games. I underestimated the Eastern Conference 8th Seeded Atlanta Hawks. In Atlanta last night the Hawks defeated the Indiana Pacers 98-85 to take a 2-1 lead in the series. Point guard Jeff Teague lead the way for Atlanta by achieving double-double status. Teague scored 22 points and 10 assists. Kyle Korver scored 20 points and 6 rebounds. DeMarre Carroll scored 18 points, 4 rebounds and 2 assists. Power forward Paul Millsap also achieved double-double status by scoring 14 points and pulling down 14 rebounds. Louis Williams added 11 points and 3 boards. Are you surprised that the Hawks are ahead in this series so far? Do you think the Hawks will defeat the Indiana Pacers? Send me your comments on this series.

For the Indiana Pacers, two guard Lance Stephenson lead the way with 21 points, 13 rebounds, 4 assists and 3 steals. Power forward Luis Scola added 17 points and 3 rebounds off the bench in 20 minutes of action. David West scored 16 points, 7 rebounds and 5 assists. Paul George added 12 points, 14 rebounds and 4 assists. Can the Pacers figure out their chemistry issues before this series is over? Will 7 foot 2 center Roy Hibbert start stepping up? What do you think has been the problem with Hibbert's game? Send me your comments on this series or any other series. Thank you for reading Pro Basketball Hoops Land. I hope you enjoy the rest of the 2014 NBA Playoffs.
