After Action Report
The Magic fended off the Bulls 122-116. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Magic cashed in. Magic's high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Magic came in with something to prove after a loss. The Magic bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Magic per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.
What tipped it
- Bulls · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Magic · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- 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.
