After back to back losses in the preseason, including an abysmal performance against Milwaukee, Fred Hoiberg decided to shake things up. The changes Hoiberg made were in the front court with Bobby Portis and Wendell Carter Jr. replacing Jabari Parker and Robin Lopez.
The changes seemed to work as the Bulls churned out a much better performance in a 104-89 win over the Indiana Pacers. The offense seemed to be clicking with Chicago scoring 25 or more points in 3 of the 4 quarters.
And for once their defense wasn’t too shabby either, holding the Pacers to under 40% shooting while giving up only 89 points.
