After Action Report

In Chicago, the Pacers handled the Bulls 118-100. The Pacers got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Pacers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Bulls looked unstoppable — pure Buzzsaw mode. Early returns: the Pacers per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.

What tipped it

  • Bulls · Buzzsaw An 8+ game winning streak — they cannot be stopped (until the league catches up).
  • Bulls · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Pacers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
