Pacers Drop Third Straight

Last updated on Thursday, March 19, 2015

(Chicago, IL) - The Pacers may not be ready to push the panic button just yet, but their finger is hovering above it as they dropped their third straight game, this time to the Chicago Bulls 103-86.

Despite having six players in double figures the Pacers shot a paltry 39% as a team and the Blue & Gold couldn't match Chicago's duo of Nikola Mirotic and Mike Dunleavy. Mirotic led all scorers with 25 points, scoring 20 of those points in the second half while Dunleavy was deadly from three point range hitting five of eight shots. Solomon Hill led the Pacers with 13 points.

Indiana won't have much time to solve their recent struggles as they head to Cleveland to take on the Cavaliers on Friday.

Former Pacers first round pick Al Harrington announced his retirement on Wednesday.

The veteran forward played 16 seasons in the NBA with seven teams, including two stints with Indiana. The Pacers drafted Harrington straight out of high school in 1998.
