The Orlando Magic played a horrible game for 48 minutes in Chicago and came away with their biggest loss in franchise history.

The Orlando Magic played arguably the worst game of basketball the NBA has seen this season. They also left Chicago with the biggest loss in franchise history.

The Magic had no effort or skill from the opening tip, and the game looked over four minutes in when Chicago took a 14-2 lead. The Magic were never even able to bring it within single digits, as wild shots kept clanking and bad decisions turned into easy buckets on the other end for the Bulls in a 122-75 Bulls win at the United Center on Monday.

The Magic could not shoot a ball into the ocean. And they did little to prevent the Bulls’ offense from flourishing. Chicago was able to penetrate with ease and either hit easy baskets inside or pass out to wide open shooters.

It was a fitting penultimate game for a disaster of a season for the Magic. And Orlando look primed for a lot of changes from the top down very soon.

C. Orlando Magic. NIKOLA VUCEVIC. C. I will begin by saying everyone was bad. When you lose by 47 points to a sub-.500 team, there are really no positives to take away. But it was nice to see <strong><a rel=

D. The Magic needed a lot more from <strong><a rel=. PG. Orlando Magic. ELFRID PAYTON

D. Things just have not looked up for the sophomore guard/wing/power forward (?)/hybrid. <strong><a rel=. F. Orlando Magic. MARIO HEZONJA

40-41. 8th East. CHICAGO BULLS. A. Despite facing such poor competition, the Chicago Bulls looked like a team fighting for a playoff spot. They looked really energetic on defense right from the start, forcing turnovers that lead to easy baskets. They penetrated well and shot the ball extremely well from the field.<p>Especially impressive for that roster to hit 53.9 percent from the field and 46.2 percent from three. Anytime you can beat a team by 47 points to move within a win of clinching a playoff spot, you have to feel happy. Even if that win was against a Magic team that has quit once again.</p>
