7-0 run from the Pacers to start the second half and the Bulls take a timeout. – 9:25 PM

Julia Poe @byjuliapoe
Pacers start the third quarter on a 7-0 run and we’ve got a quick timeout from Billy – 9:25 PM

Scott Agness @ScottAgness
Cavs lost to the Hornets and the Magic lost to the Warriors, both good for the Pacers’ playoff possibilities.
Pacers are 6th in the East with just 2+ weeks left. – 9:25 PM

Tony East @TonyREast
That’s the lowest scoring half of the season for the Pacers. Previous low was 44 against Orlando in November. They shot 35%. – 9:19 PM

Scott Agness @ScottAgness
That was the Pacers’ worst half of the season, kept to 43pts on 35% shooting. It’s 64-43 Bulls.
Vucevic already has 15/9/2. Nembhard leads the Paces with 11pts and the usual productive bench only has 2pts other than McConnell (8).
They need a jumpstart for the 2H. – 9:09 PM

Mike McGraw @McGrawDHSports
#Bulls decided to lock in tonight and lead Indiana 64-43 at halftime. Vucevic has 15 pts, 9 rebounds after a couple disappointing outings. Javonte Green played well in his official return to Chicago. – 9:09 PM

Tony East @TonyREast
64-43 Bulls at halftime. It was 42-37 in favor of Chicago with 6 minutes to go in the half. Then… it all fell apart for the blue and gold. They aren’t attacking the paint at all and are shooting just 35%.
Andrew Nembhard leads with 11 points. – 9:08 PM

Julia Poe @byjuliapoe
Bulls lead 64-43 at the half after a dominant second quarter.
Vooch leads with 15 points, Ayo adds 11, DeMar leads 10. – 9:07 PM

Joe Cowley @JCowleyHoops
Bulls about to take the 3-1 season series from a heartless Pacers squad … but they’ve had a hard schedule the last week … pic.twitter.com/f4PkDFoPoo – 9:07 PM

KC Johnson @KCJHoop
Bulls 64, Pacers 43 at half
Vucevic 15 pts, 9 rebs
Dosunmu 11 pts
DeRozan 10 pts
Green 5 pts and all of the mojo
Lowest scoring first half of Pacers season. They shot just 35 percent. – 9:06 PM

Scott Agness @ScottAgness
Don’t think this Pacers performance could get much worse. Badly struggling in the 1H at Chicago to conclude a 5-game roadie.
They’re dragging, lacking energy and gettin beat in all facets. It’s a 22-point deficit. – 9:03 PM

Joe Cowley @JCowleyHoops
Vooch taking over … @cbefred still wants WCJ …who had four single-digit games in a row. – 9:03 PM

KC Johnson @KCJHoop
Javonte Green is plus-15 in his first rotational turn. – 9:02 PM

Julia Poe @byjuliapoe
That’s a nice fadeaway finish from Vooch, who is now 6-for-10 from the field tonight after taking only five shots against the Wizards on Monday. – 9:01 PM

Tony East @TonyREast
Bulls reach 6/10 from deep and now lead by 10. Timeout Pacers. They look sluggish. – 8:57 PM

Julia Poe @byjuliapoe
Bulls stretch their lead to 49-39 after Ayo Dosunmu sinks his third 3-pointer of the game.
Ayo is now 3-for-3 from behind the arc and leads the Bulls with 11 points. – 8:56 PM

Joe Cowley @JCowleyHoops
Javonte Green already doing Javonte Green things with the block. – 8:50 PM

Joe Cowley @JCowleyHoops
Drummond gets the T for poo-poo-ing an offensive call by waving his hand dismissively at the official. – 8:49 PM

Julia Poe @byjuliapoe
Andre Drummond picks up an offensive foul on his way to a putback dunk, then earns a technical for arguing with the officials on the way back down the court. – 8:49 PM

KC Johnson @KCJHoop
Pro tip for the Bulls: Stop getting technical fouls – 8:49 PM

Julia Poe @byjuliapoe
Javonte Green earns a big cheer from fans as he enters the game – 8:46 PM

Joe Cowley @JCowleyHoops
A Javonte Green sighting … Woo is officially back now! – 8:46 PM

Tony East @TonyREast
Pacers can’t string together any sort of success toight. Looking a little slow as a team. They finally had some offense success to open this quarter, but now they can’t get any stops. Currently down 7. – 8:44 PM

The Pacers might be the best matchup for the Bulls of the other 8 teams in front of them. This might be the only team they can beat in a win-or-go-home game. – 8:34 PM

Since stats by half were first tracked (1996-97) two #Nets have 24+ points and six or more assists in a first half: Deron Williams (25 & eight back at Indiana in 2012) and Cam Thomas tonight with 24 points, six assists despite a bad back. – 8:12 PM

Feels like #Bulls are wearing down as season drags toward a close, with all the injuries and minutes piled on the five main guys. But they can clinch season series against Indiana, potential play-in opponent, with win tonight. – 7:40 PM
