After Action Report
The Pacers shocked the Bulls 123-111. Execution down the stretch made the difference. The Pacers looked unstoppable — pure Buzzsaw mode; Bulls' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. The Pacers locker room is humming, and it showed. Pacers' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Add it to the list of nights the favorite forgot to show up.
