After Action Report
In Orlando, the Magic edged the Bulls 104-96. The Bulls couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Magic. Second-chance points piled up for the Magic; the Magic looked unstoppable — pure Buzzsaw mode. The Magic locker room is humming, and it showed. The Magic rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Magic · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.

- Magic · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Bulls · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
