30-year Orlandoversary: Magic rally from 20 down in fourth to stun reigning champion Bulls

In the early-1990s, the Chicago Bulls ruled the NBA while the Orlando Magic were just finding their footing as a new franchise.

On this day 30 years ago however, the Magic stunned the Bulls with a comeback for the ages. Orlando erased a 20-point fourth-quarter deficit to top Chicago, 111-108.

The Bulls led 86-70 after three quarters at Chicago Stadium on March 21, 1992 and wasted little time increasing that lead to 20. The Magic were on the short end of a 94-74 score during the final period, but came storming back.

Orlando had made a 26-13 run, but still looked dead in the water as it trailed by seven with just more than two minutes to play.
