Indiana rode the great play of Paul George, who recorded just the second triple-double in Indiana playoffs history in Game One. The Pacers' physicality in Game One was well noted by Atlanta coach Larry Drew, who basically threw his team under the bus for their soft effort. Atlanta has another problem as their leading scorer, Josh Smith, sprained his ankle in Game One, and did not practice Monday. The Hawks were beaten badly in all phases of the game, managing just seven made free throws for the game, while the Pacers cashed in 30 times at the charity stripe. Atlanta finished their last 52 games at just 24-28, and over their last seven, they have allowed over 103 points per game. The Hawks are just 1-9 ATS in their last 10 games on a pair of days rest, and the favorite is 20-6 ATS in the last 26 games in this series. Play this one on Indiana.
