Forward Pau Gasol added 20 for the Bulls, and guard Derrick Rose scored 17. Guard C.J.

Miles and George Hill each added 11. Chicago (22-9) outscored the Pacers 29-13 from the free-throw line and out rebounded Indiana 46-44. Indiana outscored the Bulls 15-2 during the fourth quarter's first 4:50 to pull within 83-80 on Copeland's 3-pointer. Baskets from Copeland and forwards Luis Scola and Lavoy Allen pushed the Pacers into an 86-83 lead with 5:61 to go. At one point, the Bulls missed 17 consecutive shots and were outscored 20-0 before Gasol scored with 3:25 remaining, cutting Indiana's lead to 86-85. Chicago outscored Indiana 12-6 to start the third quarter for a 59-41 lead, prompting a timeout from Indiana coach Frank Vogel. Two Rose free throws with 6:05 left in the third gave the Bulls a 63-44 lead.
