After Action Report
In Chicago, the Magic squeaked past the Bulls 103-99. The Bulls couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Magic. Magic's Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Magic played with the chip of a recent gutting loss. The Magic bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Magic per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Survive-and-advance type win.
