October 31 – Nikola Vucevic posted a double-double of 24 points and 17 rebounds and Zach LaVine added 23 points as the Chicago Bulls defeated the Indiana Pacers 112-105 on Monday in Indianapolis.
DeMar DeRozan scored 16 of his 20 points in the second half to help the Bulls hand the Pacers their first loss of the young season.
Indiana shot 40.9 percent, including 12-for-46 from 3-point range. The Bulls attempted just 17 treys — making six — while finishing at 46 percent from the floor.
Myles Turner (20 points, 11 rebounds) and Tyrese Haliburton (19 points, 13 assists) had double-doubles for the Pacers. Bennedict Mathurin and Bruce Brown each scored 15 points, while reserve Buddy Hield added 11.
Jevon Carter scored 11 points off the bench for Chicago.
Chicago and Indiana combined for 21 ties and 14 lead changes. The Bulls created separation down the stretch when Vucevic converted a three-point play to give Chicago a 108-102 lead with 1:55 remaining.
LaVine split a pair of free throws with 1:17 left to make it a three-possession game. Moments earlier, the Pacers’ Aaron Nesmith fouled out as he attempted to grab an offensive rebound of Brown’s missed trey.
Indiana entered the fourth quarter with an 83-78 advantage but a slow start from the floor allowed the Bulls to tie the game at 86. Chicago grabbed an 88-86 lead, its first advantage of the second half, on LaVine’s driving layup with 8:35 to play.
Turner (13 points) and Haliburton (11) helped Indiana take a 55-53 lead into halftime, with Haliburton beating the second-quarter buzzer with a layup off a screen. Neither the Bulls nor Pacers led by more than six points before the break and had similar success from the field, with Indiana shooting 46.5 percent compared to 46.2 percent for Chicago.
Vucevic was active in the first half, collecting 10 points and nine rebounds. LaVine also had 10 points for Chicago at intermission.
Indiana, which took three of four games from Chicago last season, saw its winning streak against the Bulls end at three games.

FORT WAYNE, Ind. (WPTA) – A change in Indiana’s state budget could have serious consequences for outdoor recreation and community connectivity across the state.
The budget eliminates all funding for trails, including the Next Level Trails program, which previously received $7 million in the past years.
Kent Castleman, executive director at Fort Wayne Trails, says this funding is critical – not only for expanding trail networks, but also for maintaining and improving the trails communities rely on.
Without funding, Castleman says local efforts to provide safe, accessible outdoor spaces could stall or disappear altogether.
Castleman says trails play a major role in Indiana’s economy and quality of life.
He says in Fort Wayne, trails connect neighborhoods, parks, and business districts – helping build stronger, healthier, and more connected communities.
Castleman urges the community to take action by contacting state lawmakers through a web form.
