Coby White's Career-High 44 Points Propel Bulls to Narrow Win Over Magic
Chicago rallies from a nine-point fourth-quarter deficit to edge Orlando 125-123, handing the Magic their fifth straight loss.
- Coby White scored a career-best 44 points, including the Bulls' final nine, to secure the victory in a back-and-forth contest with 18 lead changes.
- Orlando's Paolo Banchero missed a potential game-winning three-pointer in the final seconds, and Wendell Carter Jr.'s putback dunk came just after the buzzer.
- The Magic, despite all five starters scoring at least 17 points, completed a disappointing 1-6 homestand and have now lost five consecutive games.
- Chicago snapped a two-game losing streak, improving their road record to 14-16, with key contributions from Tre Jones (20 points) and Josh Giddey (19 points, 13 rebounds, 9 assists).
- Orlando's struggles from beyond the arc (9-of-33 shooting) and Chicago's effective transition offense were pivotal in the Bulls' comeback win.
