Bulls-Pacers Preview

(AP) -- Indiana's Conseco Fieldhouse isn't normally considered an intimidating arena for visitors. For the Chicago Bulls, though, it's been a house of misery for more than a decade.

Coming off an important victory, the Bulls look to pick up a rare win in Indiana on Tuesday night when they face the Pacers.

After winning the final five contests of a seven-game road trip to move over .500 for the first time since Nov. 19, Chicago (24-25) followed up that impressive surge with three straight losses. The Bulls managed to snap out of that funk with Saturday's 95-91 win over Miami to move into sixth place in the Eastern Conference. (MORE)
