The Chicago Bulls defeated the Orlando Magic 112 - 80 at United Center on Monday . The Bulls ' ( 4 - 3 ) second - half defense propelled them toward a blowout win at home over the Magic ( 3 - 4 ) . The contest was close in the first half , with Orlando keeping themselves within striking distance of the Chicago lead . Evan Fournier and Aaron Gordon led the Magic in the second quarter after falling behind early , and they entered the half with a nine - point deficit . The second half was a different story , however , as the Magic posted just 11 points in the third quarter and 17 points in the final period . Chicago was able to pull away with relative ease after Orlando went scoreless from the 10:12 mark to the 5:13 mark in the third quarter . While shooting inside the arc went swimmingly for the Bulls , who hit 47 percent of their attempts from the field as a unit , three - point shooting did not go nearly as well . Chicago shot just 16 percent from behind the arc on 3 - of - 19 shooting . The three point shooting was going surprisingly well up until Monday , given the trio of Rajon Rondo , Jimmy Butler and Dwyane Wade 's career marks not being among the elite in the NBA . Butler led the way for Chicago and finished with 20 points , seven assists and five rebounds , while Wade added 16 points , four assists and three boards . Gordon finished with 15 points for the Magic , to go along with four assists and four rebounds . The bench was of little help to the starters , as Mario Hezonja 's nine points led the reserves . Orlando shot just 39 percent from the field as a team , and the long scoring drought in the third quarter proved to be all the Bulls needed to come away with a win . Both teams play on Wednesday , as the Bulls travel to Atlanta to take on the Hawks , while the Magic return home to host the Minnesota Timberwolves . The Chicago Bulls ' defensive effort is what led them to a relatively easy victory in the second half of Monday 's tilt with the Orlando Magic , but the three point shooting , which was a major proponent in their solid start to the season , was far from serviceable . Only Jimmy Butler and Dwyane Wade shot the three ball out of the starters , and combined for a 0 - of - 4 effort . The bench was no help in stretching the floor out to the perimeter , as Nikola Mirotic fired away six attempts from behind the arc and only came away with one to show for it . The team 's 3 - of - 19 showing was the lowest three point shooting effort of the season for Chicago , so far . Notable three point specialist , Doug McDermott , was effective inside the perimeter off the bench , evidenced by his 5 - of - 8 shooting and 11 points in 25 minutes .
