ATLANTA – The Atlanta Hawks set season highs for points in a quarter and a half and finished another disappointing season by beating the Indiana Pacers 118-102 on Tuesday night.

The Hawks missed the playoffs for the eighth straight season, but reached 30 wins for the first time since the 2002-03 season.

Tyronn Lue and Josh Smith each scored 25 points to lead four Hawks with more than 20. Marvin Williams added 23 and rookie Shelden Williams set a career high with 21.

Backup forward Ike Diogu led Indiana with 20 points. Danny Granger had 15 points and Mike Dunleavy and Keith McLeod each added 11.

Indiana, eliminated from playoff contention on Sunday for the first time in 10 years, held out forward Jermaine O’Neal with a sore left knee.
