If the opening tip-off was any indication as to how the game would go, it was clear the Indiana Pacers didn't have anything for Dwight Howard and the Atlanta Hawks. As the referee tossed the ball between Myles Turner and Howard, Turner opted against jumping, conceding the tip-off to Howard and the Hawks. It was indicative of how the rest of the game would play out Wednesday night. "The effort and energy (tonight) started with me and I have to make sure that every night I bring the same effort and energy," Howard said. "When I'm able to get in there and crash the boards, just get a feel for the game, it makes everything easier." Howard had 23 points and 20 rebounds to help the Hawks beat the Pacers 96-85. Paul Millsap added 18 points and 11 rebounds for the Hawks. Read more http://www.espn.com/nba/recap?gameId=400899666
