After Action Report

In Chicago, the Pacers downed the Bulls 109-99. Pacers' offense had its way with the Bulls. The Pacers looked unstoppable — pure Buzzsaw mode; shots just aren't falling for the Bulls lately. The Pacers bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Pacers per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.

What tipped it

  • Bulls · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • Bulls · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • Pacers · Buzzsaw An 8+ game winning streak — they cannot be stopped (until the league catches up).
  • Pacers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
