After Action Report
The Pacers blew the doors off the Bulls 112-80. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Pacers cashed in. The Pacers owned the glass, generating extra possessions; Pacers' skid keeps deepening — heads down on both ends. The Bulls looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Bulls' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. It broke open after the break.
