END RESULT
Up seven with just under eight minutes remaining and enjoying a crisp offensive night, the Pacers appeared well on their way to heading into the All-Star break with positive momentum. Instead, they went flat down the stretch once again as the Bulls outscored them 25-9 in the final 7:42 to rally for a 109-101 victory before 12,945 in Conseco Fieldhouse on a snowy Tuesday night in Indianapolis.
The Pacers shot 7-of-21, committed six turnovers, were outscored 10-1 from the free-throw line and outrebounded 13-8 in the fourth quarter.

The Pacers head into the All-Star break with an 18-34 record, three games behind last season's 21-33. It's their worst record at the break since 1988-89, when they were 11-35. The Pacers are seven games behind eighth-place Miami (25-27) in the race for the final playoff spot in the Eastern Conference. The Bulls won their second in a row to reach .500 at 25-25 and are 10-17 on the road.
