After Action Report
The Magic edged the Bulls 101-94. Execution down the stretch made the difference. You could feel the revenge motivation from the Magic; Magic's old heads steadied the ship in the swings. Whispers of a Bulls locker-room rift aren't helping. Tonight's Bulls utilization choices clashed with the team identity.
What tipped it
- Bulls · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Bulls · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Bulls · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Magic · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
