After Action Report
In Chicago, the Pacers demolished the Bulls 119-88. The better team simply showed up tonight. You could feel the revenge motivation from the Pacers; Pacers' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Pacers rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Garbage time started early.
