The Bulls Saturday appeared to get into the spirit of the famous Indianapolis 500 auto race. The Bulls played pace car while the Indiana Pacers were A.J. Foyt in a 125-86 Indiana turbo throttling. Did anyone say restart?
It was, at least recently, a rare uncompetitive game for the Bulls, complicated by the Bulls closing a back to back and fifth in seven nights while the Pacers, with five consecutive losses, hadn’t played since Wednesday.
The Bulls were routinely beaten to loose balls and second shots and stripped of the ball for multiple turnovers that became scores as the Pacers came out pressing, indicative of the advantage they believed they’d have.
