Command Analysis
Hardly anyone expected such a great result from the team, but new players easily found connection with teammates and strengthened the squad. Bulls are trying to catching up to the leader of the Eastern Conference and are trying to break away from Milwaukee.
Chicago recorded two consecutive victories, they beat a star-ridden squad of Lakers and in the most recent match crushed Houston (133:118). Billy Donovan's men are playing more aggressively on the offense and it is a successful strategy for the team.
We need to give credit to the Bulls, because a number of key players are isolated with coronavirus, but club managed to retain a high level of performance. Zach LaVine will return to the line-up soon, so all of club's best players will be available soon.
Pacers managed to break away from Detroit and Orlando, but they are still among the bottom three teams of the Eastern Conference. Team can't find balance in their performance.
Rick Carlisle's men put up a great performance in the previous match, but club played against Houston, so it was not a surprising result (118:106). Myles Turner and Caris LeVert put up a great performance for Indiana, they scored 56 points combined.
Unfortunately, Domantas Sabonis and T.J. Warren won't be able to help the visitors in the match against Chicago, but Pacers are still ready to put up a fight against one of the strongest teams on the East.
