After Action Report
The Magic fended off the Bulls 128-120. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Magic cashed in. The Magic pushed the pace until the other side broke; Bulls' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. Magic's rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
What tipped it
- Bulls · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Bulls · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Bulls · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
