The Chicago Bulls fell short in pursuit of their third straight win. Here are player grades from the frustrating loss in Orlando.

Zach LaVine and the Chicago Bulls were coming off two of their best wins of the season heading into tonight’s game in Orlando. It looked like they had finally turned the corner as a team. They even looked pretty good for most of tonight’s game until the fourth quarter when they only put up 14 points. Final score: Magic 103, Bulls 95.

C-. After the first quarter, it looked like Zach LaVine was going to have a really good game. As the night wore on, though, LaVine’s play tapered. He was bad on defense, and he was playing way too much hero-ball on offense. He finished the night with 26 points on an inefficient 8-of-26 shooting from the field and 3-of-13 shooting from 3-point range. Yikes.. Guard. Chicago Bulls. ZACH LAVINE
