The Indiana Pacers secured a decisive victory over the Chicago Bulls, winning 129-113 and marking their fourth consecutive win. The Pacers dominated throughout, leading by as much as 34 points, and now find themselves in sixth place in the Eastern Conference after ten wins in their last 13 games. Myles Turner missed the game due to illness, allowing Thomas Bryant to make his first start since joining the Pacers, where he excelled with 22 points and eight rebounds.

While the team shot an impressive 52 percent from the field, they also made history with a unique record. The lineup of Tyrese Haliburton, Bennedict Mathurin, Andrew Nembhard, Thomas Bryant, and Obi Toppin set the record for the lowest number combination ever for one team in an NBA game, a rare feat made possible by the NBA's allowance of the number 00. This occurrence highlights the quirky aspects of the league.

Although this small lineup may not be frequently used, it showcased the team's depth and adaptability in Turner's absence. The Pacers are also anticipating the return of Aaron Nesmith from injury, which could prompt potential moves at the trade deadline to bolster their bench and possibly acquire a bigger wing player. The franchise is keen on maintaining its momentum as the season progresses.
