March 2 (The Sports Xchange) - The Chicago Bulls have fallen, and they can't seem to get up. And the playoffs are slipping away.
The Bulls lost badly for the second consecutive night, 102-89 to the Orlando Magic, and never seriously challenged after a woeful start in another poor defensive performance.
Chicago (30-30) lost its fourth consecutive game and their seventh straight on the road. If the playoffs started today, the Bulls would be home watching for the first time in eight seasons.
"This is foreign territory for me," said Bulls guard Derrick Rose, who led the Bulls with 16 points and six assists.
