After Action Report

In a track meet, the Magic knocked off the Bulls 112-107. The tempo dragged the Bulls into a rhythm they couldn't survive. The Magic pushed the pace until the other side broke; Bulls' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. On paper this one shouldn't have been close — basketball had other ideas.

What tipped it

  • Bulls · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Bulls · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Bulls · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
