After Action Report

In Chicago, the Pacers snuck past the Bulls 111-110. The tempo dragged the Bulls into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Pacers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; second-chance points piled up for the Pacers. The Pacers bench chemistry carried them. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
