Windy City Bulls News Release
Hoffman Estates, Ill. - The Windy City Bulls, presented by BMO, the NBA G League affiliate of the Chicago Bulls, could not best the Magic in a 123-125 overtime loss on Monday night. Chicago Bulls two-way guard Jahmir Young led Windy City with 26 points, his best in a Bulls uniform, and tacked on nine assists.
Windy City forward Ben Coupet Jr. notched 20 points (8-16 FG) and sunk four threes in his second straight start. Center David Muoka connected for 14 points and took down 15 rebounds, marking his eighth double-double of the season.
The first quarter told a similar story to yesterday's game, with the Magic winning the period by 14 points. A mostly even second quarter increased Osceola's lead before the break. With Windy City down by 16 after halftime, Chicago Bulls two-way forward Emanuel Miller injected energy back into the offense with 11 points in the third frame. The Bulls then brought a 26-2 run into the fourth quarter, taking their first lead of the night. In a back-and-forth final frame, Young posted 10 points to help send things into overtime.
With a target score set of 125, Osceola struck first through forward Myron Gardner. Windy City's Young responded with an electric deep three-pointer for the lead. Both teams then exchanged layups, before an inbounding mishap from the Bulls led to a walk-off three-pointer for the Magic.
Orlando Magic two-way guard Mac McClung led all scorers with 33 points, adding five threes and two blocks. Gardner scored an efficient 24 points (10-13 FG) and gathered eight rebounds.
With the loss the Bulls drop to 9-17, while the Magic rise to 13-9.
