DeMar DeRozan and Zach LaVine co-led the Bulls with 32 points, with DeRozan adding eight assists. Nikola Vucevic generated a 26-point, 13-rebound double-double that included six assists and two blocks. Patrick Williams delivered 16 points, six rebounds, two assists, one steal and one block.

Moritz Wagner paced the Magic with 27 points, adding three assists, two rebounds and one steal. Cole Anthony supplied 21 points, six boards and six assists. Wendell Carter Jr. and Jalen Suggs posted 11 points apiece while recording five rebounds and five assists, respectively.

The Bulls return home to host the Los Angeles Clippers on Tuesday night, while the Magic hit the road and pay a visit to the Philadelphia 76ers on Monday night.
