Bulls big man Nikola Vucevic finally watched his teammates stop ignoring him this season, especially when he was in a mismatch against the Pacers. And not one curse word uttered after the win.

INDIANAPOLIS – It’s not listed anywhere in the Serbian travel book, but who was going to argue with Nikola Vucevic?

“I think it’s pretty common for players from that whole region in general,’’ Vucevic explained after Monday’s win over the Pacers. “(Serbian-speaking athletes) use curse words quite a bit.’’

He would know. And now so would his Bulls teammates and coaches after Vucevic’s well-documented meltdown in the opening-night loss to Oklahoma City last week.
