After Action Report
The Pacers blew the doors off the Bulls 121-97. The tempo dragged the Bulls into a rhythm they couldn't survive. 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. The Pacers rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Garbage time started early.
