The Bulls played a nearly flawless half of offensive basketball in the first half against the Pacers at the United Center on Wednesday night, going up by as many as 24 points. The visitors used a ridiculous run of shotmaking in the third quarter to pull within 95-91 late in the frame, but as they did in the first half, the Zach LaVine-plus-bench unit pushed the Bulls’ lead back out again. The fourth quarter featured a lot of ugliness, with the Bulls ultimately earning a convincing 124-109 victory to get to 3-2 on the season.
The first half was truly a thing of beauty.
