After Action Report

In Chicago, the Pacers demolished the Bulls 122-87. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Pacers cashed in. Second-chance points piled up for the Pacers; the Pacers carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one. The Pacers bench chemistry carried them. The Pacers rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Garbage time started early.

What tipped it

  • Bulls · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Pacers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Pacers · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
  • Pacers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
