Hawks Team Report (Yahoo! Sports)
The Hawks' bad luck would be funny if it wasn't so unbelievably sinister these days. Two weeks after losing starting power forward Josh Smith to a high ankle sprain that will keep him out of action for anywhere from two weeks to a month, the Hawks lost starting center Al Horford to a right ankle sprain in a loss to Indiana Tuesday night at Conseco Fieldhouse. The Hawks probably thought they'd already dealt with their big injury blow of this early season Smith went. But watching Horford limp off the floor with 5:12 to play in the first quarter Tuesday had to be a cruel blow for Hawks coach Mike Woodson, who was piecing lineups together with repeated injuries to his big men the past two...

Granger leads Pacers past slumping Hawks (AP)
Danny Granger isn't ready to consider himself an NBA star just yet. But the Indiana Pacers' fourth-year swingman is certainly playing like one. Granger scored 34 points, including 10 in the fourth quarter, and the Pacers beat the slumping Atlanta Hawks 113-96 on Tuesday night. "He's got that killer instinct for a scorer," said Indiana center Rasho Nesterovic, who added 21 points.

Hawks hand Hornets first defeat (AP)It's been a long time since NBA teams routinely got fired up to play the Atlanta Hawks.
