rebounds, and the Bulls routed the Magic 112-80 on Monday night.Dwyane Wade also
scored 16 points and Doug McDermott finished with 11 for Chicago, which had
dropped three straight. Wade went 7 for 12 from the field in 25 minutes,
bouncing back nicely from a dismal four-point performance in Saturdays 111-94
loss at Indiana.The Bulls held the Magic to 23 percent shooting and 28 points in
the second half.Were not going to win too many ballgames if our defense is not
doing what it did, Wade said.Orlando had won three straight, but it played
listless defense as Chicago pulled away in the third quarter. Aaron Gordon
scored 15 points for the Magic, and Evan Fournier added 13 on 6-for-12
shooting.I just think our defense wasnt there, Gordon said. And then
offensively, because our defense wasnt there, we didnt execute as well. Our
defense bled into our offense.Butler was a perfect 10 for 10 as the Bulls went
25 for 31 at the free-throw line, compared to 5 for 6 for the Magic. The Bulls
have made at least 20 free throws in their last four games and five of their
first seven.We scored the ball decently well, Butler said. But whenever were
guarding we make the game a lot easier for ourselves.Chicago led by as many as
17 points in the first half, but Gordon had a cutting dunk and Fournier made a
3-pointer to help Orlando close to 63-58 in the third.The Bulls then ripped off
the next 13 points, and the Magic never threatened again. Gibson, Rajon Rondo
and Robin Lopez closed the run with three straight layups, making it 76-58 with
6:05 left.We turned the ball over too much and they made all the hustle plays,
Orlando coach Frank Vogel said. If youre going to win on the road, you have to
make all the hustle plays and you have to take care of the ball.McDermott and
Butler each converted a three-point play to help Chicago to an 88-63 lead
heading into the final period. The Magic shot 4 for 21 in the third and
committed six turnovers in the quarter.Thats the defensive mindset that we have
to have for the entire game, Hoiberg said.TIP-INSMagic: Nikola Vucevic had 11
points and six rebounds. ... The Magic shot 39 percent (33 for 85) from the
field. ... Asked about the discrepancy at the line, Vogel responded: I have no
comments, we will discuss that through proper channels.Bulls: Isaiah Canaan
provided some energy off the bench and finished with 10 points. ... Butler had
seven assists and five rebounds. ... The Bulls outrebounded the Magic 56-39.FAST
STARTThe Bulls used a 15-0 run to grab a 37-24 lead after one. The first quarter
has been key for Chicago so far this season.The Bulls allowed 20 points in the
first quarter in each of their first three games, all wins. They allowed at
least 31 in each of the previous three games, all losses.Its as simple as that,
Hoiberg said. Need to get off to a good start. When we do that we generally play
a good game.COMING UPThe Bulls picked up a little momentum heading into a
difficult stretch. Eight of Chicagos next nine games are on the road, including
Wades return to Miami on Thursday night after he signed with his hometown Bulls
in the offseason.UP NEXTMagic: Host Minnesota on Wednesday night. The Magic have
won five straight and 13 of 15 against the Timberwolves.Bulls: Visit Atlanta on
Wednesday night. The Bulls were swept by the Hawks last season for the first
time since 2008-09.---Jay Cohen can be reached at
