“I like adversity. I like adversity a lot.”
Bennedict Mathurin had one of his best fourth quarters ever last night to help the Pacers end their losing streak. On the rookie, as confident as ever, helping the Pacers when they needed it most: si.com/nba/pacers/new… – 6:41 PM

Aaron Nesmith is a game-time decision, Pacers say. Andrew Nembhard remains out with a non-Covid illness.

NBA L2M says DeMar DeRozan should’ve had an and-one opportunity when he scored to put Bulls up 108-107 with 1:14 left in Bulls-Pacers. Aaron Nesmith should’ve been called for foul. – 5:15 PM

The Bulls keep getting in their own way this season. Want proof – make a list of the top 5 worst losses, and see how hard it is. Just outside this top 5 was Orlando, Phoenix and Minnesota.
