After Action Report
The Bulls blew the doors off the Magic 130-102. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Bulls cashed in. The Bulls ride keeps rolling — they're catching fire; the Magic played with the chip of a recent gutting loss. The Bulls locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Bulls per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it

- Bulls · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Magic · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
