After Action Report

The Bulls squeaked past the Magic 105-101. The Bulls got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Magic's shot-blockers turned the paint into a no-fly zone; the Magic carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one. Magic's per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.

What tipped it

  • Bulls · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • Magic · Block Party Multiple shot-blockers turn the paint into a no-fly zone.
  • Magic · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
  • Magic · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
