After Action Report
In Orlando, the Magic pulled away from the Bulls 138-125. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Magic cashed in. Magic's veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes; the Superstar Stack delivered when it mattered for the Bulls.
What tipped it
- Magic · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Bulls · Superstar Stack Two or more 90-overall stars bend games to their will on both ends.
- Bulls · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
- Bulls · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
