The Chicago Bulls got win number 60 after defeating the Orlando Magic on Sunday afternoon 102-99. This game was close throughout and the Dwight Howard-less Magic (suspended for technical fouls) battled the Bulls the whole way through. This game was dominated by Derrick Rose as he led all scorers with 39 points and he chipped in 5 assists. Luol Deng and Carlos Boozer had double-digit points with 15 and 12 respectively. Ryan Anderson and Jason Richardson were the leading point getters for the Magic with 28 points for Anderson and 24 points for Richardson. Anderson and Richardson combined to go 8-13 from the 3 point line which is a huge bright spot for Orlando. Jameer Nelson also had 17 points and 11 assists, helping out the Magic in a loosing effort. The Bulls still had a bad game with a sloppy 21 turnovers and come playoff time the turnovers will kill a team. The TO differential has been rough for the Bulls as it seems almost every game the Bulls commit more turnovers than their opponents. Up next for the Bulls is the New York Knicks in New York on Tuesday night. The Knicks are the only team the Bulls have not defeated this season so the Bulls will have revenge on their minds as they gear up for the playoffs this week.
