Intro:

Reaction after the Atlanta Hawks beat the Indiana Pacers 102-91 on Monday (April 29th) to level their play-off series 2-2.

Script:

SOUNDBITE: (English) Larry Drew, Atlanta Hawks head coach:

"But we stayed the course with what our game plan and what our game strategy was. I thought
Josh Smith played a phenomenal game. Again, the challenge of trying to defend Paul George. I thought he took the challenge and I thought he was really good. Everything that (Paul) George earned, made, I thought he earned it. And that's all you can ask for defending a guy like that, he is a, he's a terrific player."

SOUNDBITE: (English) Frank Vogel, Indiana Pacers head coach:

"Give credit to the (Atlanta) Hawks for coming out and getting another 'W' (win). I thought our guys played a much better basketball game in this game then we did in game three, obviously. Got behind a little bit in the first half, but a valiant effort in fighting in the second half to come back. (Kyle) Korver and (Anthony) Tolliver going eight for eleven from three point line was a major difference in the game."

SOUNDBITE: (English) Josh Smith, Atlanta Hawks forward:

"Well, our crowd has been unbelievable for these two games. They definitely played a part in our success at home. And in order for us to be able to be successful in Indiana, we have to be able to try to get out to a good start, number one. And try our best to be able to control the momentum of the game for 48 minutes."
