ATLANTA (AP) \u2014 Led by CJ McCollum\u2019s 23 points, the Atlanta Hawks used a 17-0 run in the second half to take the lead and beat the Indiana Pacers 132-116 on Monday.<\/p>\n
Dyson Daniels scored 22 points with nine assists, Nickeil Alexander-Walker added 21 points and Atlanta earned its third straight win.<\/p>\n
The Pacers led by 15 points midway through the third quarter and were up 92-85 late in the period before the Hawks scored 17 unanswered points in a run that carried into the fourth quarter. Luke Kennard\u2019s 3-pointer from the corner capped the run and gave Atlanta a 102-92 lead.<\/p>\n
Pascal Siakam led Indiana with 26 points. Aaron Nesmith scored 18 and Bennedict Mathurin returned from a thumb injury to add 16. T.J. McConnell also had 16 points.<\/p>\n
Tipoff had been scheduled for Monday night but was moved to early afternoon because of the possibility of icing on the roads as the result of a winter storm gripping the South and Northeast.<\/p>\n
Atlanta\u2019s Kristaps Porzingis (left Achilles tendinitis) and Zaccharie Risacher (left knee bone contusion) each missed his ninth straight game. The Hawks said Porzingis will be evaluated in about a week and Risacher could return for the team\u2019s next game.<\/p>\n
Christian Koloko helped fill the void left by Porzingis and Risacher by scoring a career-high 12 points off the bench, with three blocked shots.<\/p>\n
Jalen Johnson scored 15 points for Atlanta despite making only 5 of 19 shots from the field.<\/p>\n
McCollum made his first five 3-pointers and had eight rebounds and seven assists.<\/p>\n
