Robinson's 3-pointer Lifts Pacers Over Hawks

Last updated on Monday, March 6, 2017

(ATLANTA, GA) - Glenn Robinson III buried a go-ahead 3-pointer with sixth-tenths of a second remaining to lift the Pacers past the Atlanta Hawks 97-96.

"I just held my follow-through and it went in," he said after the game.

Paul George led Indiana with 34 points while Jeff Teague added 16. The Pacers were sharp from beyond-the-arc, hitting 15 3-pointers in the game.

"I believe in the basketball gods," Nate McMillan said in post-game. "You've got to make your breaks over the course of 48 minutes and we needed all 48 minutes to get ours."

Atlanta led by six points with 1:43 remaining and they would not score another point.

The Pacers are 2-2 on their current five-game road trip and look to end it on a positive note tonight when they visit the Charlotte Hornets at 8pm.
