After a pair of impressive offensive showcases, the Pacers had their lowest output of the preseason, scoring 101 in a 121-105 loss to the Chicago Bulls. The Pacers were easily missing Paul George, who had the night off for rest, as Chicago shot a comfortable 51% with 10 three pointers. It didn't help that the Bulls lived at the line, shooting 33-42 to Indiana's 15-23.
Indiana did shoot 50% on the night despite early turnover issues and a woeful first half from behind the arc. Without George (and C.J. Miles), the Pacers got a glimpse of a dangerous future; one without any three point shooters.
