After Action Report

In a track meet, the Bulls survived the Magic 109-105. The tempo dragged the Magic into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Bulls' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Bulls bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Bulls locker room is humming, and it showed. The Magic rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
