After Action Report

The Magic buried the Bulls 110-83. Execution down the stretch made the difference. The Magic sent shots into the fifth row all night; the Magic answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The Magic locker room is humming, and it showed. Tonight's Bulls utilization choices clashed with the team identity. It broke open after the break.

What tipped it

  • Magic · Block Party Multiple shot-blockers turn the paint into a no-fly zone.
  • Magic · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
  • Magic · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Bulls · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • Bulls · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
