After Action Report

The Bulls fended off the Pacers 128-121. The Pacers had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Bulls' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; second-chance points piled up for the Bulls. The Pacers looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger.

What tipped it

  • Bulls · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Bulls · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Pacers · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
  • Pacers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
