Heading into Monday’s contest between the Magic and Bulls, coach Jamahl Mosley put an emphasis on Orlando‘s ability to defend in transition against a Chicago team that played with the second-fastest pace in the league.
The Magic limited the Bulls to well below their season average in fastbreak points (7 vs. 18.6) and added 19 points of their own in the fastbreak to boost themselves past Chicago in a 125-120 victory inside Kia Center.
Winning its ninth game in the past 11 contests, Orlando saw Desmond Bane go for 37 points a second straight game, Franz Wagner notch 25 points and Anthony Black add 22 off the bench to hand the Bulls their fourth straight loss.
