After Action Report
The Magic fended off the Bulls 102-96. Ugly basketball, but the Magic did just enough. Magic's defenders refused to give up clean looks; the Bulls came in with something to prove after a loss. The Bulls looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Tonight's Bulls utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Bulls · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Bulls · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
