After Action Report
The Bulls buried the Pacers 120-77. The Bulls got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Second-chance points piled up for the Bulls; the Bulls played with the chip of a recent gutting loss. Whispers of a Pacers locker-room rift aren't helping. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- Pacers · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Pacers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Bulls · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Bulls · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
