Pacers play just six players in 108-104 loss to Hawks as 11 sit out

The Indiana Pacers played with only six players in a 108-104 home loss to the Atlanta Hawks, after 11 players were sidelined by injuries, illness and rest, with one late scratch before tip-off. It was the earliest point in an NBA season that a team had used so few players since 1948, and the first time Indiana had done so since 2004. All six Pacers who played scored in double figures, with Jay Huff leading the way on 22 points, but Atlanta held on after a late jumper sealed the win. The defeat was Indiana's fifth in a row, leaving the team at 2-6.
