After Action Report

In Indiana, the Pacers edged the Bulls 123-116. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Pacers cashed in. Pacers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Pacers carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one. The Pacers locker room is humming, and it showed. The Pacers rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift.
