The Indiana Pacers will welcome the Chicago Bulls to Gainbridge Fieldhouse for an NBA game on Wednesday. The Pacers 117-123 in their last game over the Jazz. The Pacers, who rallied from a 12-point deficit to within two with 3:06 remaining, have lost five in a row and 16 of 18. Clarkson and Tyrese Haliburton dueled in the third quarter. Haliburton scored 13 points, while Clarkson had four 3-pointers and 15 points to help the Jazz to an 89-88 lead heading into the final quarter.
“I’m cool with Tyrese, he’s good people,” Clarkson said. “It’s good to see him come into his own, being an All-Star this year. He works out with the same people I have worked out with forever. He’s just a good kid, really talented. I talk to him, give him (crap) during the game, just having fun.”
“Jordan was in the zone tonight,” Jazz coach Will Hardy said. “I wish I could take credit for any of that. We just try to make sure in those moments when he has that going that we’re executing from a spacing standpoint as a team, making sure we give him enough space to operate when he gets in those grooves. He’s incredibly capable of getting as hot as anybody in the league.”
The Chicago Bulls on the other hand lost 91-100 against the Magic in their last game. The Bulls matched a season high by dropping their fourth in a row, thanks to another horrendous shooting performance. They missed their first 16 3-pointers before Coby White hit one late in the third and 18 of 21 in all. Chicago is 26 of 125 from long range over its past five games.
Coach Billy Donovan said all those misses led to some poor decisions and, in turn, difficulties hanging onto the ball. The Bulls committed 16 turnovers.“I think it’s just normal instinct — let’s just drive the ball in there, let’s drive it to the basket,” Donovan said. “What happened is two times we had charges and a few times we had spray-outs that weren’t there, that weren’t open, that we turned the ball over.”
Zach LaVine led the Bulls with 26 points, and DeMar DeRozan scored 19 even though a hip issue that’s been bothering him the past six weeks or so flared up. “It’s been bad,” he said. “I’m never gonna want to complain or make any type of excuses. It’s just been something I’ve been dealing with for a while.”
