After Action Report

The Pacers rolled past the Bulls 148-115. The tempo dragged the Bulls into a rhythm they couldn't survive. The Pacers carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one; the Pacers pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Pacers locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Pacers per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. It was over by halftime.
