After Action Report
The Bulls pulled away from the Pacers 96-85. The Pacers couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Bulls. Pacers' skid keeps deepening — heads down on both ends; the Pacers bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Bulls bench chemistry carried them. The Pacers rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- 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.
- Bulls · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
