Magic-Bulls Preview

The Orlando Magic have played well of late, even though Vince Carter hasn't always been a consistent contributor. That appears to be changing for the eight-time All-Star.

Carter looks to build on his biggest game of the season while helping the Magic get a third consecutive victory Wednesday night when they visit the Chicago Bulls.

After averaging 8.7 points and shooting 28.4 percent in January, Carter has been much more productive in four February games, averaging 26.5 points while making 52.8 percent of his shots. After scoring at least 20 in each of his previous two contests, Carter posted a season-high 48 points in Orlando's 123-117 win over New Orleans on Monday.

"It's a new month. A new month brings new things," said the Daytona Beach native, who's averaging a career-low 16.6 points in his first season with the Magic. "The past is the past, and it's going to be that. I've had rough months. That's just how it goes."

Carter had 34 points in the second half and was 19 for 27 from the field overall Monday as the Magic (35-17) won for the ninth time in 11 games.

"It was a great feeling,'' said Carter, who scored the most points by a Magic player since his cousin Tracy McGrady had 62 against Washington on March 10, 2004. "When you're rolling like that for your team, it's a great feeling. We have so many weapons, and just because of that I never imagined to be able to come out here and have a game like that.''

If Carter continues to play well, Orlando could become even more of a threat than it already is to make a second consecutive trip to the NBA finals. The Southeast Division-leading Magic are second in the Eastern Conference, 6 1/2 games behind Cleveland.

The Magic look to continue their strong play by avenging a 101-93 loss at Chicago on Jan. 2. Orlando's big three of Carter, Dwight Howard and Rashard Lewis were held to a combined 24 points as the Magic shot 35.9 percent - their lowest mark on the road this season - to drop their second consecutive trip to the United Center.

"We just didn't have the fire we needed to compete against a team like this,'' said Orlando's Matt Barnes after he scored a team-high 23 points in that contest.

Carter finished with eight points and went 3 of 15 from the field in that contest. He's averaging 22.9 points in 36 career games against the Bulls, but he's been held to 7.7 points and 23.1 percent shooting in his last three.

Chicago's Derrick Rose had 30 points, seven assists and six rebounds against the Magic last month. He's averaging 26.0 points and 6.0 assists in the Bulls' last two home games against Orlando.

Luol Deng had 23 points with 11 boards, while Rose and John Salmons each scored 21 in the Bulls' 109-101 win at Indiana on Tuesday.

Chicago (25-25) shot 50.1 percent overall and outscored the Pacers 28-15 in the fourth quarter for its second consecutive win after dropping three in a row.

"Our energy and effort in the fourth quarter was good," coach Vinny Del Negro said.

The Bulls are 15-8 this season at the United Center, where they've won nine of 12.

Magic take advantage of Rose's absence, beat Bulls

CHICAGO (NBA.com exclusive) -- The Orlando Magic had all the ingredients for victory they needed before the opening tip against the Chicago Bulls Wednesday.

Then, 2 1/2 minutes into the game, the contest turned completely to their favor, and they took full advantage of the opportunity.

Dwight Howard scored 18 points and pulled down 14 rebounds in just 25 minutes of play, and the Magic crushed the host Bulls 107-87 Wednesday. Six other Magic players reached double figures, and Marcin Gortat had 10 rebounds off the bench for the Magic (36-17).

The Bulls (25-26) were led by Luol Deng's 23 points, but they played almost the entire game without All-Star guard Derrick Rose, who got injured in the third minute of the game.

The Magic entered the game with a day's rest, as opposed to the Bulls, who traveled from Indianapolis Tuesday night amid a snowstorm that dropped a foot of snow on the Chicago area. The Magic also had vengeance on their mind, after losing to the Bulls 101-93 at Chicago on Jan. 2 when nobody played well for the Magic.

The Magic made their first four baskets of the game to rush out to a quick lead, then got the final edge they probably didn't even need when Rose fell hard on his tailbone after driving the lane and running into Howard under the basket. Rose, who was named Wednesday to the U.S. Men's National team player pool for 2010-12, completed a three-point play with a free throw before leaving the game to be examined by team doctors.

This was obviously bad news for a team already playing without starting center Joakim Noah, who has been out of action for a few games to give him time to recover from a bout of plantar fasciitis.

Before the first quarter ended Wednesday, it was announced Rose would not return. Truly, by that time, the Magic were up by 20 points and Rose's return might have been academic anyway.

"It was just an unfortunate fall,'' Bulls coach Vinny Del Negro said. "With Joakim out, it didn't help. But give Orlando credit. Their energy was much better than ours. They jumped on us early and we were chasing them."

"We played great in the first quarter,'' Orlando coach Stan Van Gundy said. "They're on a back-to-back and they didn't have Derrick Rose. That helped quite a bit too."

There wasn't much game action that constituted competition. The Magic made 11 of their first 13 shots on the way to 41 first-quarter points and a 41-17 edge. The Bulls never got closer than 18 points the rest of the game.

"Even before Derrick went out, we obviously didn't have enough energy,'' Bulls center Brad Miller said. "We were struggling anyway."

"We were playing defense, we were moving the ball well, getting open shots and kind of had them running around a bit,'' Orlando guard Jameer Nelson said. "When they missed shots we pushed it as hard as we could and guys ran."

The diagnosis on Rose was inconclusive. X-rays were declared negative, but he was sent to the hospital for a "precautionary'' MRI. Del Negro said it would only be speculation to try and guess whether Rose would be able to participate in the NBA All-Star Skills Challenge competition or the All-Star Game on Sunday.

"It depends on what the doctors say and how he feels,'' Del Negro said. "Let's see how things progress the next couple of days."

"It looked bad,'' Deng said. "He got up really high."

For Orlando, the game was like a scrimmage. They got 15 points from Vince Carter and 14 from Matt Barnes. Even with the big lead from the game's start, they attempted 32 3-pointers (four more than their average) and made 12.

John Salmons replaced Rose in the lineup from the start, but backup forward Tyrus Thomas had his second decent game following his one-game suspension for a tirade against Del Negro. Thomas finished with 16 points and six boards.
