After Action Report

The Bulls ran roughshod over the Pacers 114-85. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Pacers' skid keeps deepening — heads down on both ends; Pacers' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Bulls locker room is humming, and it showed. The Bulls rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. It broke open after the break.

What tipped it

  • Bulls · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Pacers · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
  • Pacers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
