After Action Report
In Chicago, the Bulls snuck past the Pacers 102-100. 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 locker room is humming, and it showed. The Bulls rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Style points be damned.
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.
