After Action Report
In Indiana, the Bulls demolished the Pacers 119-72. The Bulls got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Pacers owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Pacers are in a full-on tailspin. Whispers of a Pacers locker-room rift aren't helping. Tonight's Pacers utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- Pacers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- 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.
