After Action Report
The Magic demolished the Bulls 134-104. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Magic cashed in. The Magic looked unstoppable — pure Buzzsaw mode; the Bulls owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The Magic bench chemistry carried them. Magic's rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- Bulls · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Bulls · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Magic · Buzzsaw An 8+ game winning streak — they cannot be stopped (until the league catches up).
- Magic · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
