After Action Report

The Bulls took care of the Magic 95-84. The Magic couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Bulls. Second-chance points piled up for the Bulls; the Bulls looked unstoppable — pure Buzzsaw mode. The Bulls bench chemistry carried them. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.

What tipped it

  • Magic · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • Bulls · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Bulls · Buzzsaw An 8+ game winning streak — they cannot be stopped (until the league catches up).
  • Bulls · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
