After Action Report
The Magic held off the Bulls 101-92. Magic's scorers couldn't be contained. Magic's Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; second-chance points piled up for the Bulls. The Magic bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Magic per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Bulls · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Bulls · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Magic · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
