After Action Report
In Chicago, the Magic buried the Bulls 138-112. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Magic cashed in. The Magic owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Magic pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Magic bench chemistry carried them. The Magic rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Never a doubt in this one.

- Bulls · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Magic · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
