Bulls-Magic Preview

The Chicago Bulls' undefeated stretch against playoff teams is over. Their winning streak against the Orlando Magic isn't.

Chicago will try to win its fifth straight over the Magic - and avoid a season high-tying third straight defeat - on Monday night when it closes out its road schedule.

With a chance to move into fifth in the Eastern Conference, the Bulls (43-37) lost 105-93 at Miami on Sunday. Chicago had won four straight over playoff-bound opponents, including a 101-97 victory March 27 that ended the Heat's 27-game winning streak.

Chicago holds the tie-breaker over Atlanta, but it's now one game behind the Hawks for the fifth seed. If the Bulls lose Monday and Atlanta defeats Toronto on Tuesday, Chicago will open the playoffs in the sixth position against Indiana, which clinched the No. 3 seed on Sunday.

However, a Tom Thibodeau-coached team is only concerned about the next opponent.

"I don't want us thinking about the playoffs," said Thibodeau, whose team is 1-4 since a 6-2 stretch. "I want us thinking about the game against the Orlando Magic."

The Bulls, winners of eight of nine over the Magic (20-60), could have Taj Gibson (left knee) back for the first time in eight games and Joakim Noah (right foot) in the lineup for the second time in 14 games.

Richard Hamilton can return following a one-game suspension, but former MVP Derrick Rose's return from an ACL injury is still unknown.

The Bulls have won their last five at Orlando - including a 96-94 victory on Jan. 2 - but they've lost 10 of 13 outside Chicago and three in a row overall to teams outside the playoff picture since defeating the Magic 87-86 at home on April 5.

Chicago has won its three matchups with Orlando this season by a total of nine points.

Another victory would mark the first time the Bulls have swept four regular-season games against the Magic.

Other than that, and avoiding the NBA's worst record - they're one game in front of league-worst Charlotte - the Magic don't have much to play for. Orlando, though, wants to finish strong.

Tobias Harris and center Nikola Vucevic are doing that, and could be a big test for Bulls forward Carlos Boozer, who is averaging 17.6 points and 13.6 rebounds while posting five straight double-doubles.

Harris is scoring a team-best 18.6 points per game with 10.9 rebounds over the last seven, while Vucevic is averaging 18.3 points and 15.7 boards during that stretch.

Those strong efforts, though, haven't been enough for the Magic to string together just two straight wins. Orlando had a chance to do that for the first time since a season-best four-game run from Dec. 14-19 after Harris and Vucevic combined for 60 points and 39 rebounds in Wednesday's 113-103 overtime victory over Milwaukee, but the Magic were routed 120-88 by Boston on Saturday.

"When we get to where we need to be we have to do this to other teams," Harris told the Magic's official website.

Orlando, which finishes its season Wednesday at Miami, is 12-28 at home. They Magic will finish with their fewest victories in Orlando since going 11-30 in 2003-04.

If Chicago drops three straight for the first time since Nov. 17-21, it will record its first sub.-500 road record since finishing 17-24 in 2009-10.

Bulls snap 2-game skid, run by Magic 102-84

ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) The fifth seed in the Eastern Conference playoffs is still within the Chicago Bulls' sights.

Carlos Boozer scored 22 points, Luol Deng added 18 and the Chicago Bulls snapped a two-game losing streak with a 102-84 victory over the Orlando Magic on Monday night.

Now with just one game left on their regular-season slate, the Bulls still can catch Atlanta for the fifth seed in the Eastern Conference. They need the Hawks to either split or lose their final two games to move from sixth up to fifth.

It would be a small victory at the end of a tough year, but is an opportunity they don't want to take for granted, either.

"We've got one more, and then it really starts," center Joakim Noah said. "I'm just happy that my foot held up. ... I think we're a pretty deep team. We just need to play together and get our chemistry right. The last game is important.

"It's that time of year, so it's exciting."

Tobias Harris led Orlando with 20 points, followed by Nik Vucevic with 17 points and 14 rebounds. Maurice Harkless also chipped in 16 points.

The Magic finish just 12-29 at home, their fewest victories in Orlando since they were 11-30 during the 2003-04 season. Orlando wraps up its schedule Wednesday in Miami. Charlotte beat New York on Monday night, leaving the Bobcats tied with the Magic for the league's worst record.

"It shows us how much better we have to get, how much harder we have to play," Harkless said. "You know we're a young team. We've got to learn how tough it is playing against these playoff teams. Hopefully in the future we'll be a playoff team."

Though he's shrugged off questions lately about his team's playoff preparations, Bulls coach Tom Thibodeau did manage to get both Noah and Taj Gibson some work Monday after each had played sparingly down the stretch.

Neither started the game, but Noah (right foot) was back on the court for just the second time in 14 games and Taj Gibson (left knee) played for the first time in eight games.

Richard Hamilton also returned to action after serving a one-game suspension for hitting Toronto's DeMar DeRozan with an elbow last week.

"You have to make the best of whatever your circumstances are," Thibodeau said. "Having so many guys out, and then some guys resting down the stretch, gave our guys an opportunity to grow."

The Bulls started slow, but outscored the Magic 28-14 in the second quarter to take a 12-point edge into the break.

Deng and Boozer did most of the early offensive lifting, combining for 26 points in the half.

"We're a team that has people on this team for certain reasons and that's why our team works," Boozer said. "It's like having a car that's missing a couple of pieces. It ain't going to run as smooth. But once we've got everybody back out there, once you've got the parts on the car, it runs pretty good."

The Magic had just three turnovers in the first quarter. They gave it away six times in the second quarter, leading to 10 Chicago points.

Chicago maintained its momentum as the lead quickly ballooned above 20 in the opening minutes of the third quarter. Orlando tried to make a few pushes, but never really threatened in the final 12 minutes.

For the night, the Magic tallied just 16 assists on their 31 field goals.

Magic coach Jacque Vaughn said down year or not, he doesn't expect his team to be down entering Wednesday's finale.

"Just the same approach that we've had the entire year really, of going into the game and doing the best we can," he said. "We're going to Miami and we're going to try to get a win."

Whether Derrick Rose makes a surprise return for the postseason is still to be determined. For now, though, all the focus is on improving the pieces the Bulls know they will have available.

"We've got a ways to go, but we're fighters and we're excited for the challenge," Noah said.

Notes: Vucevic's double-double was his 45th of the season. ... Having spent time in Boston during his stint as a Celtics assistant, Thibodeau said it made Monday's events tough to watch from afar now. "There's so much going on and the entire meaning of that day - it's so festive. It's unfathomable just to think about something like that happening there," he said. "It's just a terrible day. Terrible."... Thibodeau said a lack of recent practice time for his team hasn't slowed down Rose's rehab schedule. "That's the important thing and he's going to continue to do so," he said. "So if we're not practicing, he's still doing all his rehab stuff and he's working each and every day."

Notebook: Bulls 102, Magic 84

Dick Scanlon, for NBA.com
Posted Mon Apr 15, 2013 11:21 PM - Updated Mon Apr 15, 2013 11:21 PM

THE FACTS: Carlos Boozer started at center and scored a game-high 22 points, leading the Chicago Bulls to a 102-84 victory in the Orlando Magic's home finale Monday.

Boozer, Kirk Hinrich and Luol Deng led a second-quarter charge that lifted the Bulls (44-37) to a 12-point halftime lead and they coasted in the second half, keeping alive their chances of getting up to fifth in Eastern Conference playoff seeding.

Tobias Harris led the Magic (20-61) with 20 points. Nik Vucevic had 17 points and 14 rebounds.

THE STAT: The Bulls had 33 assists on 42 field goals.

QUOTABLE: "I thought Luol set the tone at the beginning of the game, making a lot of good plays. I thought Kirk ran the team great. Carlos was terrific in the pick-and-roll, setting great screens. But the ball movement . . . We had a lot of people step up and play very effectively."

-- Bulls coach Tom Thibodeau

TURNING POINT: Boozer and Hinrich scored six points each on a 19-5 run that turned a four-point Bulls deficit into a 10-point lead in the second quarter.

QUOTABLE II: "They just played with an intensity that was at a different level than ours. It just shows how much better we have to get, how much harder we have to play. We've got to learn how tough it is playing against these playoff teams."

-- Magic forward Maurice Harkless

HOT: Deng went 8-for-11 including 2-for-3 on 3-pointers.

NOT: The Magic made only two 3-pointers -- one by Beno Udrih just 28 seconds into the game, the other by Doron Lamb with 4:14 left in the game.

GOOD MOVE: Joakim Noah, who has started 64 games at center for the Bulls, played 14-plus minutes in two shifts after missing four straight games with an injured right foot. Taj Gibson played 21 minutes after missing seven games with a knee injury.

QUOTABLE III: "We are just getting guys back. Obviously we know how much better we can play. We've had moments where we've had our whole team and played amazing this season, and we've had games where we were totally depleted and it was a grind-out. We're happy to get guys back and hopefully we can keep getting healthy."

-- Carlos Boozer

BAD MOVE: The Magic gave up a layup to Marco Belinelli on an inbounds pass in the third quarter, falling behind by 20 points for the first time.

IN THE ARENA: Bubba Watson, the 2012 Masters champion, had a front-row seat on Fan Appreciation Night at the Amway Center.

ROOKIE WATCH: Harkless and all four players coming off the bench for the Magic were rookies. They combined for 37 points and 19 rebounds.

NOTABLE: If the Bulls win their season finale Wednesday and Atlanta loses one of its last two games, the Bulls will move up to fifth place . . . The Magic shot a season-high 34 free throws, but still average only 16.5 per game, fewest in NBA history . . . Boozer had a plus-minus of plus-32 in 31 1/2 minutes . . . Unless they win at Miami on Wednesday night, the Magic will finish 20-62, their second-worst record in 24 NBA seasons. Only the expansion team of 1989-90 was worse at 18-64.

UP NEXT: For the Bulls, Wednesday vs. Washington. For the Magic, Wednesday @ Miami.
