After Action Report
The Bulls survived the Pacers 107-105 in overtime. The Pacers couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Bulls. Bulls' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Pacers are in a full-on tailspin. The Pacers looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Bulls · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- 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.
