INDIANAPOLIS (AP) - Jeremy Lamb scored 20 points, T.J. Warren hit a go-ahead 3-pointer and the Indiana Pacers outlasted Trae Young and the Atlanta Hawks 105-104 in overtime Friday night

Lamb got the Pacers started in overtime with a 20-foot jumper and he fed Myles Turner for a 3-pointer. Warren made his only 3-pointer of the game with 1:12 remaining to push the Pacers to their fifth consecutive victory.

Turner and Domantas Sabonis each scored 17 points, and Warren and Malcomb Brogdon had 16 apiece.

DeAndre' Bembry and Alex Len added 15 points each for Atlanta.

The Hawks rallied to tie and force overtime after Brogdon's last-second bank shot was too long.
