INDIANAPOLIS — The Chicago Bulls can’t give up the same tired script.
For one quarter Wednesday night, they seemed to be pulling their heads above water. But despite building a 24-point lead over the Indiana Pacers in the opening quarter, the Bulls found themselves in a dogfight in the fourth quarter after squandering their advantage and lost their fifth straight game, 117-113.
The Pacers took their first lead with 8:51 left and spent the final stretch trading shots as the Bulls fell back on their heels.
