The Pacers kept the pedal to the metal in their second preseason win over the Bulls on Thursday night. With Chicago willing to run alongside the Pacers, the team’s played at a pace of nearly 113 possessions for a 48 minute game.
That’s fast and at times appeared too fast as the Pacers turned the ball over 20 times which the Bulls cashed in for 22 points. First half struggles handling the pick n’ roll defense also made for quick possessions by the visitors.
But at that pace, the game is prone to wild swings with no lead really safe.
