Bulls Claim Preseason NBA Win Over Pacers

Aaron Brooks scored 22 points to lead the Chicago Bulls to a 103-94 win over the Indiana Pacers in a preseason game Tuesday night. Paul George had 26 and 13 rebounds for the Pacers.

Monta Ellis and Ian Mahinmi added 14 points for the Pacers. Fifteen of George's points were in the first quarter. Indiana shot 3 for 24 in the second quarter.

Six players scored in double-digits for the Bulls. First-round pick Bobby Portis didn't play.

Bulls coach Fred Hoiberg said he was "very encouraged" by Derrick Rose during a solo workout earlier Tuesday. Rose took some contact, but Hoiberg didn't say when Rose (broken left orbital bone) would go through a full-contact practice.

George gave the Pacers a 16-8 lead with 6:10 left in the first on his thunderous one-handed dunk after he rebounded his missed 3-pointer.
