The Bulls shocked the Magic in Orlando on Friday night with a blowout 105-83 victory. A balanced attack from the starting five along with a few solid bench performances earned the Bulls just their second victory of the season. The Magic were averaging 115 points going into the night but couldn’t get anything going in the second half.
The Bulls got off to a 15-4 start behind solid defense and rebounding. Orlando clawed back as Nikola Vucevic got anything he wanted early on. Chicago’s early strategy involved plenty of switching, and too often they were caught with a mismatch on a posting Vucevic.
