After Action Report

The Bulls survived the Pacers 120-115. Bulls' scorers couldn't be contained. Bulls' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; Bulls' stars took over and bent the game to their will. The Bulls locker room is humming, and it showed.

What tipped it

  • Bulls · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Bulls · Superstar Stack Two or more 90-overall stars bend games to their will on both ends.
  • Bulls · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Pacers · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • Pacers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
