After Action Report
In Chicago, the Pacers demolished the Bulls 111-87. Pacers' offense had its way with the Bulls. The Pacers answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; the Pacers bent the defense out of shape from deep. Whispers of a Bulls locker-room rift aren't helping. Tonight's Bulls utilization choices clashed with the team identity. It was over by halftime.
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 · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
