After Action Report
The Bulls survived the Pacers 102-98. The Pacers couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Bulls. The Pacers couldn't shake the cold spell; the Pacers bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Bulls bench chemistry carried them. Bulls' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Pacers · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Bulls · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
