After Action Report
The Pacers outlasted the Bulls 90-78. The Pacers won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Second-chance points piled up for the Pacers; Pacers' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Bulls looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Tonight's Bulls utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Survive-and-advance type win.
What tipped it
- Pacers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Bulls · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
