After Action Report
The Bulls outlasted the Magic 94-88. The Bulls won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. The Bulls came in with something to prove after a loss; the Bulls pushed the pace until the other side broke. Magic's per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Bulls · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Magic · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Magic · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
