It was more of the Bulls playing badly than the Pacers being significant and they still were lucky not to get swept.
The Pacers looked solid in stretches in all the games,barring the last one. The Bulls made mistakes,but there is no doubt that they were put under pressure,especially in Game 4. If they can create some cap space,they will get better.
idk he pacers played some solid defense for stretches but their lack of offensive firepower was exposed which is the reason they only won one game
