Hield Scores 24 As Pacers Lose To The Bulls

CHICAGO, UNITED STATES – Grand Bahama’s very own Buddy Hield led the Indiana Pacers in scoring as they lost to the Chicago Bulls 124-109. 

In what was easily his most efficient game this season, Hield scored 24 points on 8-26 shooting while going 7-12 from the three-point arc to go with 3 rebounds and 4 assists. His team didn’t fare as well, shooting a collective 42.5% from the field. Besides 18 points, 4 rebounds and 11 assists from Tyrese Haliburton, there was nothing much else to see as the entire team had a lackluster night.

All-star guard Zach Lavine led the Bulls in scoring with 28 points, he also grabbed 6 rebounds and dished out 5 assists. Veteran All-Star swingman Demar DeRozan contributed 18 points and 6 assists.

The loss drops the Pacers’ record to 1 and 4 on the young season. They will play the Washington Wizards in Indianapolis on Friday night.
