INDIANAPOLIS — DeMar DeRozan scored 46 points, including the go-ahead 3-pointer in overtime and the last three points in regulation to extend the game, and the Chicago Bulls outlasted the host Indiana Pacers 132-129 on Wednesday night. The All-Star forward's only 3-pointer at the 2:17 mark of overtime pushed the Bulls ahead 127-123. Pacers All-Star point guard Tyrese Haliburton missed a 3-pointer just before the final buzzer. The final 72 seconds of regulation were entertaining as Pacers center Myles Turner hit 3-pointers on back-to-back possessions with 1:12 and 56.7 seconds remaining for a 3-point lead. But DeRozan sank a free throw and swished a baseline fadeaway jumper with 0.3 seconds remaining to force overtime. The teams traded the lead 12 times in the fourth.
