CHICAGO -- The Chicago Bulls ended their two game losing streak by beating the Indiana Pacers, 103-86, on Wednesday night at the United Center.
Rookie Nikola Mirotic scored 25 points and grabbed 9 rebounds off the bench to lead the shorthanded Bulls, who played without regulars Derrick Rose, Jimmy Butler and Taj Gibson.
Pau Gasol recorded another double double with 19 points and 12 rebounds while Tony Snell and Aaron Brooks helped out with 14 and 13 points, respectively.
Mike Dunleavy also showed up for Chicago, hitting 5 of 7 triples in the opening half to finish with 19.
The Pacers made a run in the third quarter and sliced a 12-point deficit down to 3, but Chicago held its ground and outscored Indy 27-18 in the final 12 minutes.
All-Star center Joakim Noah sparked the Bulls with 7 assists and 14 rebounds. Gasol, meanwhile, nailed a corner 3 that handed the Bulls a 101-84 bubble with 1:39 left to play.
Solomon Hill led the Pacers with 13 points and 6 rebounds and Roy Hibbert pitched in 10 markers and four boards. Rodney Stuckey recorded 11 off the bench but the Pacers made only 32 of 81 field goals, a low 39.5 percent clip.
