Bulls Vs. Pacers Score: Derrick Rose Struggles, Indiana Leads 67-56 After Three
Joakim Noah leads Chicago with 17 points and 13 rebounds. Carlos Boozer has 11 and eight respectively.
The Pacers have been in this position before after watching a double figure lead disappear in Game 1 during the fourth quarter. If Indiana has cause for concern it is with their own free throw shooting. The Pacers are just 9-19 from the line through three quarters. If they want to pull out a victory, they need to continue to keep Rose off the line while they cash in on a few more of their free opportunities.
