All night, the Magic frustrated and swarmed the Bulls on defense as they played the role of the spoiler as they knocked off Chicago before they head into the playoffs.
The Bulls did see the return of Derrick Rose, but turnovers and a strange technical foul for hanging on the rim were just some of the moments that led to a Magic victory Wednesday.
The play that summed up the game best, was late in the game as Magic rookie Aaron Gordon was all over Bulls forward Nikola Mirotic playing defense.
Mirotic kept trying to go up and around Gordon, but he eventually got happy feet and was forced into a travel.
Mirotic could do nothing but walk away shaking his head in disgust on the play.
It was a big win for the young guys in Orlando as they continue to grow and move forward. For the Bulls, it was a disappointing loss for the veteran team as they gear up for the playoffs.
