The Chicago Bulls and lead man Fred "The Mayor" Hoiberg (that would be the Mayor of Hilton Coliseum in Ames, Iowa) needed a "W" to get back to .500 and that is exactly what the get. Behind 21 points and seven boards along with seven thefts from Dwayne Wade and 20 points and eight boards from Jimmy Butler the Bulls hang on in the swank Amway Center in Mouse Town Central Florida 100-92 for a much-needed "W"!
Chicago led at the break 52-49 only to lead 78-73 after three. The O-Magic did a great job of hanging around as they were led by "Big" Nikola Vucevic's 20 points and eight boards as he led all five O-Magic starters in double figures. The difference in this contest was the Bulls Bench Mob which outscored the O-Magic Bench 37-20.
It was Brazilian Christiano Felicio and Doug McDermott from #SeeRed each tallying a dozen providing that 2nd unit and the Bulls starters some much-needed offense. Down the stretch it was Wade County along with Jimmy Buckets doing most of the damage as Chicago held the O-Magic to near 42% from the field and just under 32% from the arc as the Bulls shot nearly 46% from thew field and 32% from 23'9".
Chicago with the "W" moves to 23-23 as the O-Magic falls to 18-29...
