The Indiana Pacers are taking a xx-xx lead/deficit against the Chicago Bulls as they head into the locker room at halftime. T.J Warren finished the half as the Blue & Gold’s leading scorer with 14 points. Goga Bitadze finished the half with nine points and two rebounds.
With Domantas Sabonis out after suffering a left calf contusion against the Cleveland Cavaliers two nights ago and Myles Turner still rehabilitating a right ankle sprain, it was up to JaKarr Sampson and Bitadze to protect the paint. Their combined effort held the Bulls to an 18-point first quarter. It was the Bulls’ lowest scoring output in a quarter since scoring 18 in the fourth against the New York Knicks in their fourth game.
