Young, Capela guide Hawks past Pacers

-

Trae Young scored 34 points, Clint Capela had 25 points and 24 rebounds and the Atlanta Hawks beat the Indiana Pacers 129-117 on Sunday.

Bogdan Bogdanovic and Kevin Huerter each chipped in 23 points and Young had 11 assists for the Hawks, who have won eight of 10 and are 17-6 under interim coach Nate McMillan. Atlanta has won nine of 11 at home.

Young loved how the Hawks kept pushing the ball offensivel­y and giving the Pacers fits. Indiana endured long gaps when it didn’t get back in transition quickly enough or let the Hawks have wide-open looks.

“It was tough to do that when guys are knocking down shots and guys are knocking down 3s like they were and Clint doing what he’s doing in the paint,” Young said. “It’s hard to double a guy in a situation like that.”
