'An inconsistent night': Pacers conclude road trip with a dud in Chicago

They were held below 100 points for the first time this season in their final game of a five-game trip. They lacked energy most of the night and lost to the Bulls for the third time this season.

After splitting pair of games in Los Angeles on back-to-back nights to start the week, the Pacers made their way closer to home on Wednesday to complete their final big road trip of the season.

Five games in nine days, starting in Detroit and ending in Chicago after three more games in California. And there seemed to be enough motivation to get them through their third game in four nights.
