The Chicago Bulls will welcome the Milwaukee Bucks to United Center for an NBA game on Thursday. The Bulls lost 117-113 in their last game over the Pacers. The Bulls’ Zach LaVine scored 35 points, including 12 in the opening quarter. Buddy Hield made six 3-pointers in the second half and finished with 27 points, helping the Indiana Pacers rally from a 24-point deficit after the first quarter and defeat the Chicago Bulls 117-113 on Wednesday night.
Tyrese Haliburton banked in a 9-foot shot for a 113-112 lead in the final minute, Myles Turner sank two free throws and Hield closed it out with a pair of foul shots with 7.1 seconds remaining as the Pacers snapped a five-game skid.“The pattern in a lot of NBA games is you get hit in the face and then you fight back,” Pacers coach Rick Carlisle said. “Fighting back is a tough way to consistently win in this league.”
The Pacers, down 39-15 after the first quarter, have trailed by double digits in the opening quarter of 24 games. “We don’t want to be coming back all the time,” Hield said. “It’s annoying.” Aaron Nesmith scored 21 points for Indiana, which had lost 16 of 18. Turner added 17, Haliburton 16 and Bennedict Mathurin 14. “We were dangerously close in the first quarter to being booed by the greatest fans in the NBA,” Carlisle said. “We responded.”
The Milwaukee Bucks on the other hand won 131-125 against the Celtics in their last game. Jrue Holiday demonstrated just why he’s heading to the All-Star Game for the first time in a decade. Holiday matched a career high with 40 points and made a go-ahead 3-pointer with 25.2 seconds left in overtime as the Milwaukee Bucks edged the short-handed Boston Celtics 131-125 on Tuesday for their 11th consecutive victory.
The 32-year-old Holiday shot 8 of 12 from beyond the arc — including one from behind midcourt that beat the third-quarter buzzer — to set a career high for 3-pointers. “I don’t really, I guess, care for how I’m playing as long as we’re winning,” said Holiday, who also had seven assists. “For me, as long as we get the win, I’m OK. The only stat I look at is turnovers. That’s kind of how I determine if I had a good or bad game. Tonight, what did I have, five turnovers? To me, that hurts my soul.”
