After Action Report
The Bulls held off the Pacers 102-95. Bulls' scorers couldn't be contained. The Bulls carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; the Bulls pushed the pace until the other side broke. Pacers' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
