Back in action on Sunday night in Chicago, the Pacers headed to halftime trailing their Central Division rivals, 63-48.
After sitting out Thursday's win over Houston with a sore right calf, All-Star forward Domantas Sabonis was back on the court for the Blue & Gold on Sunday. The big man made his presence known early, tallying seven points in as many minutes in his first shift of the night.
But it was the Bulls who led for most of the opening frame, going up 25-18 following Troy Brown Jr.'s 3-pointer with 3:55 remaining in the first quarter.
