The Atlanta Hawks outscored the Pacers 24-9 in the fourth quarter en route to an 89-86 win last night in Georgia. Indiana travels to Minnesota to play the Timberwolves tomorrow. The Pacers expect to be without star forward Danny Granger for another three months. The team announced that Granger had an injection on Tuesday to treat his injured left knee. He was originally hurt during the playoffs last season and has continued to be bothered by the knee. Granger has been the team's leading scorer the last five seasons. Tomorrow's game is set for 7 p.m. at the Target Center.
