After Action Report
In a track meet, the Bulls shocked the Pacers 113-109. The tempo dragged the Pacers into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Bulls' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Bulls bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Bulls rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. On paper this one shouldn't have been close — basketball had other ideas.
