The Indiana Pacers nearly came back down double-digits to beat the Chicago Bulls but fell in final minute losing 92-90. Missed the game or want to re-live the game through tweets?

PREGAME
As usual, a ton of Bulls fans here in Indy. It always seems like there's just as much red in here as there is yellow.

1ST QUARTER
Roy Hibbert doing rim chin ups in the first minute of the game. Encouraging.

Derrick Rose has taken 3 threes, and every one of them felt like he was letting the defense off the hook.

Lavoy Allen relieves Hibbert after big fella picks up 2nd foul.
— Tom Lewis (@IndyCornrows) December 30, 2014
Thibs got his money's worth with that technical. Lawd....

Half of Pacers' shots have come from mid-range. They're 3/12 on those shots.

2ND QUARTER
Luis Scola with 5 points early. He had 21 in the Pacers mid-November win in Chicago, 6 more than he's scored in any other game this season.

Luis Scola gets smacked in the face while making a layup and ... completely redeems himself. I guess that's why you lead with the arm tho

It looked as if C.J. Watson had to take that floating baseline shot as he lightly lost control of his dribble. Worked out anyway.

Derrick Rose accelerating from 0-to-infinity much quicker than Solomon Hill expected. Layup at the rim for the former MVP.

If David West doesn't make shots, we are pretty much doomed.

3RD QUARTER
Hibbert immediately picks up his 4th foul, and Vogel picks up the dice and rolls them. Gambling leaving the Big Dawg out there.
— Pat Boylan (@PatBoylanPacers) December 30, 2014
So Jimmy Butler has just decided to cut out the middle man and tip-dunk every rebound. Which I'm good with.
— Robert Mays (@robertmays) December 30, 2014
Vogel yelling at ref Derrick Collins: "Five fouls on the Chicago Bulls! Five fouls! The whole game!"
— Candace Buckner (@CandaceDBuckner) December 30, 2014
The Pacers have spent the last three years physically bullying teams and getting no calls on reputation. Welcome back to the other side.
— Tim Donahue (@TimDonahueZ) December 30, 2014
Rose is performing surgery on the Pacers right now
— Jason Patt (@Bulls_Jay) December 30, 2014
Stuckey 3-point play. Pacers need to make a run on the back of this to make this a game. Otherwise, bench coming in, could get ugly(er) soon
— 8 Points, 9 Seconds (@8pts9secs) December 30, 2014
The Bulls have taken their largest lead of the game. With 2:33 left in the 3rd quarter: CHI 74, IND 54

3Q
— P A C E R S (@PacersForever) December 30, 2014
Pacers 30
Bulls 34
Pacers trail 81-65.
4TH QUARTER
Some good moments out of Luis Scola, again, tonight. He's up to 8 pts. Before the game, Vogel said he's been playing like he's "mad."
— Candace Buckner (@CandaceDBuckner) December 30, 2014
Now Cope's working Butler in the post. Go figure.
— Michael Grady (@Grady) December 30, 2014
Pacers cut the lead to 13, giving some hope. Plenty of time to comeback if they decide they might like to.
— 8 Points, 9 Seconds (@8pts9secs) December 30, 2014
...And then CJ Miles hits an off-balance 3-pter to make it 83-75. #Bulls

Chris Copeland is owning the Chicago Bulls in the fourth quarter and these are real words I'm typing.

CHRIS DOPELAND!
— Ben Gibson (@CowboyOnPatrol) December 30, 2014
18-0 run for Indiana Pacers courtesy of the reserve unit and Vogel is sticking with them as #Pacers take lead.
— Tom Lewis (@IndyCornrows) December 30, 2014
George Hill's ability to close out on shooters and shimmy around screens is unmatched in this league. That's not hyperbole.
— Jon Washburn (@DeanOfMortgages) December 30, 2014
Is that bad? RT @KCJHoop: Bulls 0-for-13 in 4th and have gone scoreless for 7 minutes.
— CBS Sports NBA (@CBSSportsNBA) December 30, 2014
Bulls win their league-high 14th road game.

And that’s it.
The Pacers’s final game of 2014 is Wednesday against the Miami Heat.
