After Action Report

The Magic shocked the Bulls 101-95. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Magic's skid keeps deepening — heads down on both ends; the Bulls bent the defense out of shape from deep. Magic's rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. On paper this one shouldn't have been close — basketball had other ideas.

What tipped it

  • Magic · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
  • Magic · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
