Indiana defeated Chicago in all four meetings last season, but its largest margin of victory was nine points. Two of the contests were one-possession victories for the Pacers, including a 119-16 overtime win in Chicago on Jan. 4. Pacers rookie center-forward Goga Bitadze has fit the latter bill for the Pacers off the bench in the early season. On Friday, the 20-year-old Bitadze -- who is 6-foot-11 and 250 pounds -- contributed 10 points, nine rebounds and four blocks in 24 minutes.
The Bulls play too much 1 on 1 ball and dont run their plays. The Pacers play more team ball and that will lead to a win at home Sunday evening.
