The Pacers ran roughshod over the Bulls 122-99. The breakneck pace played right into Pacers' hands. The Pacers answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Pacers' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Pacers locker room is humming, and it showed. Pacers' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.
