(ATLANTA, GA) - The Pacers ended the weekend on a sour note as the Atlanta Hawks blew out the Blue & Gold by 29 points, in a 104-75 rout.

Al Horford and Paul Milsap tallied 18 points each to guide Atlanta to victory. The Hawks shot 47 percent from the field and 50 percent from 3-point range.

For the Pacers, Myles Turner led the way with 19 points but Monta Ellis was the only other member to score in double-figures. Indiana shot 37.9 percent from the field and a dismal 20.8 percent from beyond-the-arc.

The 75 points was a season low for the Pacers as Monta Ellis and Paul George were held to 17 points combined.

The Pacers begin a five-game home stand on Tuesday when they host the Boston Celtics.
