Box Score & Player Grades: Pacers 103, Bulls 101 – November 29, 2025

I could sit here and give you a normal recap of the Chicago Bulls ‘ tight loss to the Indiana Pacers. But does this team even deserve that?

Playing with Fire, A Much-Needed Zach Collins Update, Noa Essengue’s Rough Stint, and Other Bulls Bullets

Living on the edge is fun and all … until a flock of Pelicans swoop in while you’re eating a sandwich, thus making you lose your balance and plummet into the depths of the earth’s core. It was only a matter of time for the Chicago Bulls. The team has been playing with fire over the last week-plus. Dating back to their double-OT loss to the Utah Jazz, this group hasn’t looked anything like the 6-1 team that shocked the NBA. They started the season punching teams in the mouth with their d...
