Bogdanovic Bounces Back, Pacers Beat Hawks 105-95

Last updated on Thursday, December 21, 2017

(ATLANTA, GA) The Pacers got back in the win column as they knocked off the league-worst Atlanta Hawks 105-95.

Victor Oladipo scored a game-high 23 points while Myles Turner added 20 points and six rebounds and Bojan Bogdanovic overcame his errant pass in Monday's loss by scoring 19.

"I know what I did last game against Boston. I didn't sleep for two straight nights so I really needed this W to get out of my own mind."

The Pacers shot over 48 percent from the field and Oladipo hit 3-of-5 from 3-point range.

Despite the win, head coach Nate McMillan still expressed concerns on the defensive side of the ball.

"We've gotten off to a somewhat slow start defensively. We don't need to pace ourselves. It seems like at times we're pacing ourselves and we want to try and get away from these slow starts."

The Pacers improved to 18-14 on the season and the Pacers return home on Saturday to take on the Brooklyn Nets.
