The Hawks overcame the loss of Trae Young, who was ejected in the third quarter, to score their most points this season. The Hawks protected their shaky hold on the No. 8 spot in the Eastern Conference playoff standings. Young was ejected after firing an unusually hard pass to referee Scott Wall during a timeout. Tyrese Haliburton scored 19 points and Buddy Hield had 16 for Indiana. Dejounte Murray had 20 points for Atlanta.
