The Bulls demolished the Magic 122-96. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Bulls cashed in. Second-chance points piled up for the Bulls; second-chance points piled up for the Magic. The Bulls bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Bulls per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Never a doubt in this one.
