After Action Report
The Pacers ran roughshod over the Bulls 133-100. The Bulls had no answer for the variance gods tonight. The Pacers bent the defense out of shape from deep; Bulls' skid keeps deepening — heads down on both ends. The Pacers bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Pacers per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. It broke open after the break.
What tipped it
- Bulls · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Bulls · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Pacers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
