After Action Report
In Indiana, the Pacers snuck past the Bulls 104-102. Ugly basketball, but the Pacers did just enough. Pacers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Pacers' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Pacers locker room is humming, and it showed. Pacers' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
