After Action Report
In Chicago, the Pacers buried the Bulls 121-91. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Pacers cashed in. Pacers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; fresh off a statement win, the Pacers stayed locked in. The Pacers bench chemistry carried them. Bulls' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.
What tipped it
- Bulls · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Pacers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Pacers · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Pacers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
