The Indiana Pacers were dealt a tough hand without their top scorers Tyrese Haliburton and Bennedict Mathurin, but it was their defense that ultimately let them down in a loss to the Atlanta Hawks. Despite the missing firepower, the Pacers' offense showed glimpses of promise, but their defensive struggles late in the game proved costly. With key players sidelined, the team's depth was put to the test, and they fell short against a strong Hawks team, highlighting the need for improved team defense and a stronger bench performance in upcoming NBA games.
