NBA: Bulls steal Magic's home finale

@ 02:38 PM (47 months, 19 days ago)
The end-of-the-season run by the Orlando Magic has created quite a commotion around the NBA Championship Tournament.

It just won't be a perfect creation.

The playoff-bound Chicago Bulls saw to that Monday night by overcoming what had been a 16-point deficit early in the third quarter and defeating the Magic 116-112 in overtime in the final game of the season at the TD Waterhouse Centre.

The Magic, who were eliminated from postseason contention Sunday when the Bulls won at Miami, seemed well on their way to tying the franchise record of nine wins in a row and posting their 13th consecutive victory at home. But the Bulls rallied to register their ninth victory in 10 games since losing at home to the Magic three weeks ago.

"They deserved the win," Magic coach Brian Hill said after his team's first loss at home since an 89-84 setback to the Houston Rockets on Feb. 26. "They played hard. They made big shots when they needed them. And it probably wasn't one of our better offensive efforts from the standpoint of getting real good ball movement and taking care of the basketball."
