Atlanta is in 8^th place in the Eastern Conference and kept it with this win. The fight for the playoffs and the play-in tournament will be until the last match because Raptors and Bulls are behind them in the standings.

The NBA official Scott Wall decided to be among the stars of the match and ejected Young after he threw the ball to the referee, who caught it but gave Trae his 2^nd technical foul in the game.

Indiana will return home after 4 visits and face Dallas Mavericks on Monday, while Atlanta hosts Memphis Grizzlies.
