After Action Report
In Orlando, the Magic snuck past the Bulls 101-99. Ugly basketball, but the Magic did just enough. The Magic answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; the Bulls couldn't shake the cold spell. The Bulls looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Early returns: the Magic per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Magic · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Bulls · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Bulls · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
