After Action Report

The Bulls handled the Pacers 112-101. Bulls' offense had its way with the Pacers. The Bulls owned the glass, generating extra possessions; Bulls' outside barrage was a constant threat. The Bulls locker room is humming, and it showed. The Pacers rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.

What tipped it

  • Bulls · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Bulls · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • 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.
