Oneka Okongwu had 16 points and 16 rebounds for the Hawks.

Bennedict Mathurin had 30 points for the Pacers after missing four games with a wrist injury. Pacers All-Star Tyrese Haliburton, who entered the game fourth in the NBA in assists at 8.9 per game, missed his second straight game with a hip strain. Pascal Siakim had 23 points.

Hawks: Pacers coach Rick Carlisle said he thought the Hawks improved their team at the trade deadline, and Lavert backed up that assessment with his big night off the bench.
