Pacers 115, Bulls 108 (OT)

Finishing kick in gut: Derrick Rose (42 points) led another one of those remarkable comebacks, bringing the Bulls back from a 20-point deficit midway through the third quarter. Rose nailed 3 free throws with 1.2 seconds on the clock to force overtime, but the Bulls didn’t have anything left in the tank and their eight-game winning streak ended.

Seeing green: Boston was thumped by Houston on Friday, so the Bulls remain a half-game ahead of the Celtics for first place in the Eastern Conference. Boston moves on to New Orleans tonight.

Still missing: Carlos Boozer skipped his fifth game with a sprained left ankle. He’ll get two more days of rest before the Bulls return home to face Sacramento on Monday.
