After Action Report
The Bulls blew the doors off the Pacers 119-98. Bulls' scorers couldn't be contained. The Bulls carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; the Bulls pushed the pace until the other side broke. Whispers of a Pacers locker-room rift aren't helping. The Bulls rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. It was over by halftime.
What tipped it
- 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.
- Bulls · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
