After Action Report

The Bulls pulled away from the Magic 111-96. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Magic's high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Magic are in a full-on tailspin. The Magic looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Magic's per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.

What tipped it

  • Magic · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Magic · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
  • Magic · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
