The Bulls were hoping to find a little magic in Orlando. Instead, the Magic Wednesday went a long way toward making the Bulls disappear, or at least their playoff hopes in a crushing 98-91 Orlando victory.
The Bulls still hold onto the last playoff spot in the Eastern Conference in a tie with Detroit at 31-33. But streaking Miami, winners of 20 of 24, and Milwaukee, winning eight of 11, now are a half game behind the Bulls and Pistons and ready to sweep past both.
The Bulls lost their third straight game, though the concern was how they did, and not only with yet another fourth quarter collapse.
