The Indiana Pacers bench outscored the Chicago Bulls bench by 17 points. This was a big game-changer as in a close match like this, it's these small differences that decide the result.

A huge part of the credit for this should be given to Domantas Sabonis, who was in sublime form. He came off the bench and scored 23 points with 12 rebounds in just 30 minutes, shooting 9-13 from the field.

He was shooting lights out in the game and made the Bulls pay for taking him lightly. Sabonis has been averaging 14.9points and 9.6rebs, on 63.1% shooting from the field, making this one of his best years statistically.

The Pacers were heavily short-handed in this game but Sabonis' play took care of that problem.
