Dennis Schroder scored seven of Atlanta’s final eight points to finish with 14, and the Hawks held off a late Indiana comeback to beat the Pacers despite a stellar night by Bojan Bogdanovic.

The German guard had five of Atlanta’s 13 steals as the Hawks got the 107-102 win. Croatian Bojan Bogdanovic led Indiana with 26 points while making four 3-pointers in the final period. His third 3 of the period cut the Atlanta lead to 97-91. A follow shot by Lithuanian Domantas Sabonis, who had 14 points, pulled the Pacers to 101-99.

Schroder answered with a layup with 44 seconds remaining, and then added another driving layup following an Indiana turnover. Greek-American Tyler Dorsey added four points and six rebounds for the winners.

Pistons dominated inside in a 110-87 victory over the Milwaukee Bucks as Giannis Antetokounmpo left with 10:08 remaining in the game with an apparent injury to his right eye. “We’ve been told that it is an eye, and he’ll be re-evaluated tomorrow,” Bucks coach Joe Prunty said.

Spaniard Marc Gasol led the Grizzlies with 22 points and 13 rebounds but the Suns got the 110-102 win. French guard Evan Fournier and reserve forward Croatian Mario Hezonja led Orlando with 17 points apiece, Montenegrin Nikola Vucevic added 14 points, however, Toronto got an easy 117-104 win with Austrian center Jakob Poeltl stealing the show with 13 points, eight rebounds and five assists.
