After Action Report
The Magic ran roughshod over the Bulls 133-97. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Magic cashed in. Fresh off a statement win, the Magic stayed locked in; Bulls' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The Magic locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Magic per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- Magic · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Magic · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Bulls · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Bulls · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
