After Action Report
The Bulls outlasted the Pacers 106-95. Bulls controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. Shots just aren't falling for the Bulls lately; the Pacers owned the glass, generating extra possessions. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Bulls · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Bulls · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Pacers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Pacers · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
