THE FACTS: Rarely has such a bad shot yielded better results. With the ball, a four-point lead and 34 seconds left, Gerald Green did absolutely the wrong thing, launching a quick 3-point shot. But to the everlasting relief of the Indiana Pacers, the shot went in to help preserve a wild 100-94 victory over the Atlanta Hawks on Monday at Bankers Life Fieldhouse. Green scored 19 to lead the Pacers (44-27), who were without three injured starters. Indiana built a 28-point lead in the third quarter and then watched it reduced all the way to four by Atlanta's reserves in a wretched fourth-quarter performance that included 10 turnovers and 4-for-16 shooting. Josh Smith led the Hawks (39-32) with 20 points.
