ATLANTA (AP) - Joe Johnson scored 25 points, Al Horford had 24
and the Atlanta Hawks finally played some defense in an offensive
shootout, pulling away in the fourth quarter for a season-opening
120-109 victory over the Indiana Pacers on Wednesday night.
The Pacers shot 53 percent from the field but only 5 of 15 in
the final period, including an uncontested layup at the end. They
also turned it over six times to finish with a staggering 25
giveaways, leading to 32 points for the home team.
Danny Granger led Indiana with 31 points, but only one other
starter was in double figures. Earl Watson added 20 points for the
Pacers.
