After Action Report
The Pacers outlasted the Bulls 101-89. Execution down the stretch made the difference. The Pacers answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Pacers' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Pacers locker room is humming, and it showed. Pacers' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Style points be damned.
