The Indiana Pacers spent the first half of Game 2 looking like they would fall into an 0-2 hole in the best-of-seven series against the Atlanta Hawks before making a statement after the break. The Pacers will try to carry that momentum onto the road when they visit the Hawks for Game 3 on Thursday. Atlanta, which controlled the second half of Game 1 to pick up a stunning win in the opener, failed to put together the same closing kick in Game 2.

The Memphis Grizzlies swiped homecourt advantage away from Oklahoma City and attempt to take a 2-1 series lead when they host the Thunder on Wednesday in the seven-game Western Conference first-round series. The seventh-seeded Grizzlies recorded a 111-105 overtime victory in Game 2 to avoid a hole and are in a good position with the next two games being at home. Kevin Durant is averaging 34.5 points in the series for second-seeded Oklahoma City.

The Golden State Warriors did what they needed to do by taking a game on the road to start their best-of-seven series against the Los Angeles Clippers. But it was the Clippers, who visit the Warriors for Game 3 on Thursday, who made the loudest statement in the first two games with a 138-98 demolition in Game 2. Golden State trailed wire-to-wire in that game and never got close in the second half as Blake Griffin asserted himself.
