After Action Report

The Magic ran roughshod over the Bulls 113-85. Magic torched the Bulls on the offensive end. The Magic carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one; the Magic pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Magic bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Magic per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. It broke open after the break.

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.
  • Bulls · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • 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.
