The Chicago Bulls are missing half of their preferred 10-man rotation. But the NBA schedule doesn’t stop — or slow — for any team.

Short-handed and outmuscled, Chicago lost for the fourth straight time and has seen its promising early start evaporate.

Desmond Bane scored 18 of his 37 points in the fourth quarter, helping the Orlando Magic erase a 15-point second-half deficit to hand the Chicago Bulls their fourth straight loss, 125-120.

The Magic are coming off back-to-back wins against the Philadelphia 76ers (Nov. 25) and the Detroit Pistons (Nov. 28), which helped Orlando win its NBA Cup group. Desmond Bane finished with 37 points and 8 rebounds in Friday's win. He's now scored at least 15 points in each of his last 10 games and is third on the team in scoring (18.3 ppg).
