Despite not leading at any point of the night, the Indiana Pacers found themselves with the ball and a chance to win against the Chicago Bulls, but Jimmy Butler got away with a foul on Paul George on the final possession to help Chicago escape with a win. The Pacers stormed back from a 15-point third quarter deficit to control their own destiny in the fourth, but they had the misfortune of relying on the officials to decide the game.
George had a big second half to help put Indiana in position to win, scoring 26 points with seven rebounds and five assists.
