The Orlando Magic (30 - 43) defeated the Chicago Bulls (36 - 36) 111 - 89 at Amway Center on Saturday. The Magic dropped 36 points in the first quarter on their home court and did not look back, easily handling Chicago throughout the rest of the game. Orlando dominated the rebounding battle (50 - 40) and shot 53 percent from the field through impressive floor spacing. Dewayne Dedmon led all scorers in the contest with 18 points on an impressive 9 - of - 14 shooting, while Elfrid Payton added a double - double with 15 points and 10 assists. The Magic bench saw Andrew Nicholson and Brandon Jennings each score 14 points, and the depth helped stave off any chance the Bulls had at pulling the game within reach. The Bulls are a banged up squad at this point in the season with Jimmy Butler (knee) contemplating surgery to repair his knee and Pau Gasol (knee) both not playing at 100 percent. Derrick Rose was charged with leading the group, but underwhelmed with nine points, three rebounds and two assists on 1 - of - 4 shooting. Taj Gibson received increased minutes in his starting role and added 16 points and three rebounds on 8 - of - 9 shooting. Chicago shot just over 40 percent as a unit, and are now on the outside looking in to the NBA playoffs. The Bulls will host the Atlanta Hawks (43 - 30) on Monday, while the Magic host the Brooklyn Nets (21 - 51) on Tuesday.
