After Action Report
In Orlando, the Magic buried the Bulls 137-107. The tempo dragged the Bulls into a rhythm they couldn't survive. The Magic owned the glass, generating extra possessions; Magic's Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. Magic's rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. It was over by halftime.
What tipped it
- Magic · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Bulls · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Bulls · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
