Bulls aim for season sweep of Pacers
Basketball Betting Lines
02/27/2010 -
(Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Central Division rivals clash at Conseco Fieldhouse
Saturday as Indiana plays host to a streaking Chicago Bulls team, aiming to
sweep the season series with the Pacers for the first time in 13 years.
Chicago has already topped Indiana three times this season and a win tonight
would give the club its first season sweep in the series since 1996-97.
The Bulls won for the sixth time in seven games on Friday when Luol Deng
scored seven points in overtime, and Derrick Rose scored 33 overall, leading
Chicago to a 115-111 victory over the Portland Trail Blazers in the Windy
City.
Deng, playing with a balky left knee, finished with 23 points and seven
boards, while Rose went 15-of-25 from the field for the Bulls, who snapped a
five- game losing streak to the Blazers. Kirk Hinrich provided 17 points,
while Hakim Warrick had 15 in the win.
"Turnovers were one of the reasons [Portland] was in the game," Rose said. "I
have to stay focused and make sure I take care of the ball."
The Pacers, meanwhile, have been struggling recently and fell to Milwaukee in
their most recent outing, a 112-110 setback on Thursday. The Bucks' John
Salmons had 20 points in that one.
Danny Granger tallied a game-high 21 points for Indiana, which has lost three
straight and seven of eight. T.J. Ford had 17 points, while Troy Murphy
provided 16 points on 4-of-7 shooting from three-point range.
"We had our chances," Murphy said. "I'm hoping to get some wins...I'm hoping
to win some games here sooner or later. It's getting to that point."
Earl Watson added 15 points, eight boards and five assists in a losing cause.
