Chicago Bulls: 2 studs, 1 dud, from dominant win over Magic

A much-needed bounce-back win on the night of Black Friday for second-year head coach Billy Donovan and the Chicago Bulls came in the front end of back-to-back games. The Bulls hit the road yet again to face the Orlando Magic on the road at the Amway Center on the night of Nov. 26 to try and snap their two-game losing streak.

The Bulls came into this meeting with the Magic off one of the very worst losses in recent memory for this team. On Nov. 24, the Bulls fell short to head coach Stephen Silas and the Houston Rockets on the road at the Toyota Center by the final score of 118-113. Coming into that game, the Rockets had just one win and were sitting on a whopping 15-game losing streak.

And this two-game losing skid for the Bulls was built off two losses to teams with losing records.

For multiple obvious reasons, Donovan and the Bulls needed a strong response against the Magic on this night. It also goes without saying that the Bulls have a difficult matchup ahead when they host star shooting guard/small forward Jimmy Butler and the Miami Heat at home at the United Center in the back end of these back-to-back games on Nov. 27.

The Bulls dominated this matchup against the Magic through and through to the tune of one of the biggest wins in the last few seasons. A strong start for the Bulls in this game would amount to a convincing win over the Magic by the final score of 123-88.

Here’s a look at two studs, and one dud, from the Bulls’ dismantling of the Magic on the road on Nov. 26.
