After Action Report
The Magic outlasted the Bulls 108-98. The Bulls couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Magic. The Magic carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one; Magic's Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The Magic bench chemistry carried them. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
