After Action Report
The Bulls pulled away from the Magic 125-114. The Magic had no answer for the variance gods tonight. The Bulls answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Bulls' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. Early returns: the Bulls per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.
