The Nikola Vucevic homecoming game quickly became the Wendell Carter Jr. revenge game.
While Carter Jr. may have won the statistical battle between two players who were traded for one another, it was Vucevic’s Bulls who easily won the game with a 123-88 rout of the Magic.
The evening began with a tribute video welcoming Vucevic back to Orlando for the first time since being traded at the deadline last season and thanking him for his nine seasons with the Magic....
But it was Carter Jr. who did a little of everything in the first quarter against his former team, scoring from deep, out of the pick-and-roll and by driving to the basket and throwing down an emphatic one-handed dunk.
