After Action Report
The Magic outlasted the Bulls 118-110. Magic's scorers couldn't be contained. The Magic answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; the Bulls bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Magic bench chemistry carried them. The Bulls rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.
What tipped it
- Bulls · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Magic · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Magic · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
