Chicago (39-31) has persevered without Derrick Rose and now is one game out from having the third-best record in the Eastern Conference. They've won six of their last 10 games, including a 91-81 win on Saturday against Philadelphia.
Bulls center Joakim Noah, who earned an invite to the 2014 All-Star game, is a big reason for Chicago's success and should be in the discussion for league MVP. The veteran heads into Monday's game averaging career-highs in points (12.4 ppg), assists (5.0 apg), rebounds (11.2 rpg) and blocked shots (1.5 blkpg).
Despite his herculean effort, Noah knows both he and his team haven't yet reached their full potential.
"We could play better than we are playing now," Noah told the team website, via ESPN. "Indiana was a tough game for us. We wish we could have played better. We'll have a chance to see them again soon."
Indiana (51-19) got the better of Chicago on Friday, 91-79. The Pacers, who sit atop the Eastern Conference, have played unevenly since coming off the All-Star break. Pacers star Paul George blamed poor screens as part of the reason they lost on Saturday to Memphis.
"We have to create opportunities for teammates to move the ball," George said. "It's only so much ball movement you can do when you're not moving yourself. We got to do a better job of moving with the ball and do a better job of screening. We're screening poorly right now as a team."
