The Bulls never trailed, but after leading comfortably for much of the game did allow the Pacers to tie. Luckily though the Pacers had a chance to steal a win, Jimmy Butler ended the Bulls second win this season with a block on a star, first against LeBron in the opener and this one against Paul George.
The game was up for grabs because Derrick Rose exited the game with 6 minutes remaining after a non-contact ankle sprain. Up until that point, though the Pacers weren't being put away easily, Rose looked very good.
