After Action Report

The Magic handled the Bulls 133-119. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Magic cashed in. Magic's Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; Bulls' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The Magic bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Magic per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.

What tipped it

  • Bulls · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Bulls · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
  • Magic · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
