Bulls-Magic Preview

In their last two games, the surging Orlando Magic posted wins against one of the league's best teams and one of the worst.

Their next opponent is playing more like the latter.

The Magic look to win their season-high seventh straight game Thursday night when they host the slumping Chicago Bulls.

Orlando (45-20) has matched its longest win streak of the season, giving itself a small cushion over Boston for the second seed in the Eastern Conference. It still trails first-place Cleveland by five games.

The Magic beat the Lakers on Sunday in an NBA finals rematch and followed that victory with a 113-87 rout of the Los Angeles Clippers on Tuesday.

Orlando led by 26 points at the half and cruised the rest of the way. Dwight Howard, who finished with 22 points and 15 rebounds, did most of his damage in the first half, going into the break with 18 points and 11 rebounds.

"I liked the way we approached the game coming off a big win the other night," coach Stan Van Gundy said. "There was no letdown, especially in the second half."

The Magic have a good chance at extending their winning streak against a Chicago team that has lost five in a row. Orlando hasn't won seven straight since Jan. 6-17, 2009.

Improved production from point guard Jameer Nelson has provided a boost for the Magic, winners of five straight at home. Nelson is averaging 12.6 points this season, but 16.4 in the last 10 games. He had 17 points and eight assists Tuesday, shooting 3 of 5 from 3-point range.

Nelson and the Magic will try to take advantage of the Bulls' defensive struggles. Chicago equaled its longest losing streak of the season Tuesday with its fifth straight defeat, 132-108 to Utah. It was the most points the team has allowed this season.

The Bulls are giving up 115.0 points per game during the skid and their last two opponents have averaged 127.0 points and shot 55.3 percent. All of those losses came without defensive presence Joakim Noah, who is out with plantar fasciitis.

Howard will look again to dominate inside with Noah sidelined. He had 18 points and 14 rebounds in 25 minutes of a 107-87 win Feb. 10 with Noah out. In the previous matchup with Noah in the lineup, Howard was held to nine points and 12 rebounds in a 101-93 loss Jan. 2.

Thursday continues a difficult stretch for Chicago, which in a tight battle with five teams for the final four playoff spots in the East. The Bulls play their next four on the road and their next five opponents are all playoff contenders.

"It's the NBA, you can always change things around," said Derrick Rose, who had 25 points and 13 assists Wednesday. "Now we go on the road for two big games. We need them."

It won't help, however, if the Bulls don't have Luol Deng, who sat out the fourth quarter with a strained right calf. He was scheduled to undergo an MRI before Thursday's game.

Deng is second on Chicago, averaging 18.0 points and 7.3 rebounds.

The Bulls, who haven't lost six straight since Nov. 14-24, 2006, have lost four in a row in Orlando by an average of 19.3 points.

Magic cruise past 'very undermanned' Bulls

By Dick Scanlon, for NBA.com

ORLANDO (NBA.com exclusive) -- The Orlando Magic's 111-82 dismantling of the Chicago Bulls on Thursday night made it a little hard to comprehend that the Magic had actually lost to the same team two months ago.

Of course, it wasn't really the same team, even if the Bulls' jerseys had the same five letters across the front.

Thursday night's edition of the Bulls started without forward Luol Deng (strained calf) and center Joakim Noah (plantar fasciitis) and lost All-Star guard Derrick Rose to a sprained left wrist in the final seconds of the first quarter.

By then the Magic had a 13-point lead that would swell to 32 at halftime.

"They started the game a little undermanned, and then obviously when Rose went down, they were very undermanned," said Magic coach Stan Van Gundy.

"There's no question we are a battered bunch right now," said Bulls coach Vinny Del Negro.

The word applies especially to Rose, who will have an MRI taken before it can be determined whether he can play at Miami on Friday night. Del Negro described Rose as "sore, stiff, disappointed and obviously upset."

He was injured for the second time this season on a foul by Magic center Dwight Howard. It was a hip injury the first time, but it came just before the All-Star break and Rose has not missed a game this season.

The injury couldn't have come at a worse time for the Bulls, who lost their sixth straight and at 31-33 are now a game and a half out the final Eastern Conference playoff spot. Without Rose, they could be looking at a 10-game losing streak with Miami, Memphis, Dallas and Cleveland up next on their schedule.

"We just have to get one because in this league it's tough," said forward Taj Gibson, who had 12 points and nine rebounds. "One minute you're at your peak and the next minute you are sliding downhill."

The Magic (46-20) are going decidedly uphill, riding a season-high seven-game winning streak on which the average margin of victory is 19.

"Right now we're trying to play the best basketball we can, hopefully roll it into the playoffs," said Vince Carter, who scored 21 of his game-high 23 in the first half. "We're hitting the floor running, playing at a high level, and each and every night the opponent doesn't matter; it's more about what we need to do to get better."

Against the Bulls, they shot 55 percent and had an overwhelming 46-29 rebounding advantage even though Howard practically took the night off. Because of foul trouble and a huge lead, Howard had just 12 points and six rebounds in less than 20 minutes.

"It's good to see guys are coming back and rebounding instead of just relying on me the whole time," Howard said. "It feels good knowing that when the other bigs come into the game -- Marcin [Gortat], Brandon [Bass], Ryan [Anderson] -- those guys are rebounding. It makes our team a lot better."

The game was so one-sided that a chant of "We Want Foyle!" caught on in the final minutes, referring to veteran center Adonal Foyle, who has yet to play this season. Foyle was in uniform in place of Mickael Pietrus, who was de-activated with a neck injury.

"Orlando is a handful for anybody" Del Negro said. "So is Utah, Dallas, the teams we've been playing. Even if we were healthy, we'd have to be playing very strong basketball, very smart and sound basketball to get wins. We know that, but we've done it before. We have to find a way to stick together, weather the storm and try to manage ourselves through this, and then go from there."
