Although they led all the time, at one point they even had a plus 21 (62:41), Chicago Bulls basketball players were defeated on the road by Indiana 116:110.
Pacers reached the turning point in the very finish. After four tied points by Nikola Vučević for 100:94, the home team responded with a series of 8:0 and took the lead for the first time with four minutes and 27 seconds to go.
The last time the guests equalized 42 seconds before the end, after a dunk by the Montenegrin center, but they did not score a basket until the end.
Vučević scored 20 points, with excellent shooting (12-7 for all, 2-2 threes), and had eight rebounds and five assists.
Demar Derozan was more efficient than him with 33 points, while the home team, which ended a seven-game losing streak, was led by Benedikt Maturin and Myles Turner with 26 each.
