The Bulls didn’t improve too much from their first-night drubbing, taking another high-margin loss in a 125-106 total against the Pacers.
There were two huge runs for the Pacers, a 21-0 demolition in the 2nd quarter, and then the came out in the second half to 18 straight points as the Bulls couldn’t score for nearly five minutes. Shortly after that it was a 30-point deficit again and thus a quarter and a half of garbage time.
Unlike that first game where they went down 40, at least the Bulls started pretty well here. Lauri Markkanen opened up the 2nd straight game with a three-pointer, and Coby White hit 3 of them afterwards, to be more-or-less even in the first quarter of play.
