The Indiana Pacers will meet the Chicago Bulls in a free Live Streaming Online NBA battle from the United Center in Chicago at 8:00 PM ET.
Indiana (51-19) was the first team in the East to secure a postseason spot and leads Miami for the best record in the conference by three games with 12 remaining. The Pacers also own a 12-game lead over the Bulls, whom they beat 91-79 on Friday night, and are on the verge of clinching back-to-back division titles for just the second time in franchise history.
With the quick turnaround in facing a division rival for the second time in four days, Pacers coach Frank Vogel thinks his team will regroup and forget about its 82-71 loss at Memphis on Saturday in which Indiana was held to a season low in points.
"When you're playing in the playoffs, you play a team and you got to make adjustments two days later and that's what these two games are going to feel like," the coach told the Pacers' official website. "From that standpoint, it'll be good for our guys to dial in to adjustments."
Those adjustments need to come on the offensive end after Indiana shot 36.5 percent and had only 14 assists versus the Grizzlies.
"We have to create opportunities for teammates to move the ball," Paul George said after Friday's defeat. "It's only so much ball movement you can do when you're not moving yourself. We got to do a better job of moving with the ball and do a better job of screening. We're screening poorly right now as a team."
George has struggled with his shot lately, going 9 of 40 (22.5 percent) in his last three games, and he's had similar issues against Chicago. The two-time All-Star has shot 12 for 46 (26.1 percent) and averaged 14.3 points in three games against the Bulls this season.
George did have a triple-double (10 points, 12 rebounds, 10 assists) in Friday's win.
Chicago (39-31) trails Toronto by a half-game for third in the East.
