After Action Report
The Bulls survived the Pacers 127-124. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Bulls cashed in. Shots just aren't falling for the Pacers lately; the Pacers pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Bulls locker room is humming, and it showed. The Bulls rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift.
What tipped it
- Bulls · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Pacers · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Pacers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
