Bulls lose must-win game to Pacers, as season has all but slipped away

Pacers guard Tyrese Haliburton was a problem for the Bulls all afternoon, but saved his best for last, hitting a clutch game-winning three-pointer with 2.7 seconds left.

Time of death on the Bulls’ 2022-23 season: Sunday, 4:58 pm.

Guard Patrick Beverley can talk about still playing the remaining 17 games, “swaggy, always swaggy,’’ and veteran DeMar DeRozan can point out that “as long as you’ve got time, you’ve got a chance,’’ but with only 17 regular-season games left, this Bulls team took one more step toward “1-2-3 Cancun!’’ then challenging for a spot in the play-in tournament.
