After Action Report

The Bulls downed the Pacers 120-103. The better team simply showed up tonight. Pacers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; fresh off a statement win, the Pacers stayed locked in. The Bulls locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Bulls per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.

What tipped it

  • Bulls · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Pacers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Pacers · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
