The Indiana Pacers vs. the Atlanta Hawks battle it out on the court in Game 6 of the NBA playoffs at Philips Arena in Atlanta, GA on Thursday, May 1 at 7:00 p.m. EST. Read on to see where fans can watch and listen to a live stream of the 2014 playoff basketball game online and catch up-to-date feeds and coverage on highlight plays and scores.
The Pacers currently snag the no. 14 spot in Josh Martin's NBA playoffs power rankings for Bleacher Report:
"Apparently, the Indiana Pacers weren't prepared to leave their second-half collapse behind once the playoffs came around. After backing their way into the East's No. 1 seed, the Pacers find themselves down 3-1 to an Atlanta Hawks squad that, at 38-44, was fortunate just to extend its postseason streak to seven years. Keep in mind, too, that these Pacers, with the same starting lineup and a significantly weaker bench, dispatched the Hawks in six games last spring. Since then, Atlanta has lost Josh Smith to free agency and Al Horford to another season-ending pectoral injury. Not that Indy isn't without it's own apparent absentees. Roy Hibbert, once an All-Star and the early front-runner for Defensive Player of the Year, has been practically unplayable in this series. With Hibbert struggling, the Pacers' defense, the NBA's best during the regular season, has allowed the Hawks to slash, kick and shoot to their heart's content. As a result, Indy has fallen from a 33-7 juggernaut to a possible one-and-done afterthought amidst concerns about coaching, chemistry and toughness. Don't be surprised, then, if team executive Larry Bird makes some big changes this summer if the Pacers fail to advance, with head coach Frank Vogel and the mercurial Lance Stephenson chief among those most likely to go."
Meanwhile, the Hawks hold the no. 12 spot out of 14 total teams:
"It'd be easy to heap most (if not all) of the responsibility for the Atlanta Hawks' 3-2 first-round advantage on the Pacers' emergent problems. But such would overlook the extent to which the Hawks have dictated this series so far, thanks to a creative coach and a quirky roster. Mike Budenholzer has done a masterful job of outwitting Indy's Frank Vogel from the jump. Atlanta's roster may not look like a gang of world-beaters, but every player in Budenholzer's employ can shoot, and that, in itself, has been enough to frustrate the Pacers' vaunted defense. Roy Hibbert's been rendered useless by the threat of Pero Antic's shooting and Budenholzer's willingness to go small. Likewise, David West's been dragged away from the paint by the ever-improving Paul Millsap. Without Hibbert and West clogging the lane, the Hawks' quick guards (i.e. Jeff Teague, Lou Williams, Shelvin Mack) have managed to penetrate and kick out to Atlanta's marksmen at will. As you might expect, then, the Hawks have been particularly prolific from beyond the arc (39.1 percent on 30.2 attempts) and at the free-throw line (26.8 attempts per game). Those advantages, along with justenough defensive effort to slow down Indy's anemic offense, now have the Hawks on the brink of becoming just the sixth eight-seed to ever advance in the NBA playoffs."
The Hawks currently lead the series 3-2.
