On Saturday, the Orlando Magic (1-1) host the Chicago Bulls (1-0) at the Kia Center, and if you’re wondering how to catch the action live, you’ve come to the right place.
The Magic return to action after dropping a close game of the season on Friday to the Atlanta Hawks, 111-107. They squandered a 12-point lead in the fourth quarter after shooting just 31.8% from the field in the period, including missing all eight of their 3-point attempts.
Franz Wagner led all players with 27 points and six rebounds, while Desmond Bane and Tristan da Silva each added 15 points. The group committed 22 turnovers, resulting in 22 points for the Hawks, while converting 29% of their attempts from beyond the arc.
The Bulls opened the season with a 115-111 win over the Detroit Pistons on Wednesday at the United Center. They nearly blew a 22-point second-half lead after allowing the Pistons to tie the game multiple times late, but pulled ahead for good on free throws by Josh Giddey.
Nikola Vučević produced a game-high 28 points and 14 rebounds to lead the Bulls, while Matas Buzelis scored 21 points and Giddey added 19 points and 11 assists. Giddey became the first Bulls guard to register a double-double on opening night since Chris Duhon in 2005.
The Bulls and Magic are meeting for the first of four matchups this season. The Magic won the season series last year, 2-1, and have won 13 out of the previous 22 games overall.
