The Indiana Pacers beat the Chicago Bulls Wednesday night. As a result, for the first time in Pacer’s history, the team is 5-0, and the last unbeaten NBA team this season. The squad is looking to tie its franchise record of 6-0, which was set by the 1970-71 ABA powerhouse, when they play against the Toronto Raptors Friday night.
Pacers players Paul George, David West and Roy Hibbert did pretty well for their team. George finished with 21 points, six rebounds and three assists. West scored 17 points and 13 rebounds, to Hibbert’s eight points, 10 rebounds and five blocks.
Pacers’ Lance Stephenson had 12 points in the last 12 minutes of the game, finishing with 15 points.
“We just play hard. We feel like that we going to bring it every night on the defensive end, offensive end and we going to find a way to get that ‘W,'” Stephenson said. “And we did that tonight.”
Bulls Derrick Rose and Luol Deng scored 17 points each to lead the Bulls (1-3), but couldn’t get the job done.
“A couple players on their team made big plays, great second-chance efforts with the rebounding and Lance, I think, played great for them tonight knocking down shots and just playing hard,” Rose said.
