Magic Bests Bulls, 114-95
The Orlando Magic defeated the Chicago Bulls, 114-95, at Amway Center on Sunday evening.

The Magic (9-39) came into the contest as only narrow home underdogs, and after the first half, it was evident the oddsmakers were on to something. Orlando, the lowest-scoring home team in the NBA, rattled off 53 points over the first 24 minutes to take a 16-point lead into halftime. The Bulls (28-17) were able to put a five-point dent into their deficit during the third quarter, but it wasn't anywhere near enough to put the hot-shooting home squad's victory in jeopardy.

DeMar DeRozan led the Bulls with 41 points, adding five rebounds, three assists and two steals. Coby White followed with 22 points, four boards, one steal and one block. Nikola Vucevic generated a 13-point, 13-rebound double-double that included three assists.

Moritz Wagner paced the Magic with 23 points, supplementing them with four assists, two rebounds and one steal. Wendell Carter managed 19 points, seven rebounds, one assist and three blocks. Franz Wagner finished with 18 points, five assists, four rebounds, one steal and one block. Jalen Suggs registered 15 points, seven assists, five rebounds, two steals and one block. Cole Anthony, Chuma Okeke and Ignas Brazdeikis all mustered 11 points. Anthony also recorded five assists and two rebounds, Okeke pulled down seven boards and dished out four dimes and Brazdeikis chipped in three rebounds and two assists.

The Bulls remain on the road and visit the Oklahoma City Thunder on Monday night, while the Magic remain home and host the Los Angeles Clippers on Wednesday night.
