After Action Report

In Indiana, the Bulls handled the Pacers 100-90. Ugly basketball, but the Bulls did just enough. Second-chance points piled up for the Bulls; you could feel the revenge motivation from the Bulls. The Bulls bench chemistry carried them. Tonight's Pacers utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.

What tipped it

  • Pacers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Pacers · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • 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.
  • Bulls · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
