After Action Report
In Indiana, the Pacers buried the Bulls 143-109. The breakneck pace played right into Pacers' hands. The Pacers pushed the pace until the other side broke; Bulls' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. The Bulls looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Early returns: the Pacers per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- Bulls · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
