The Chicago Bulls have had a hot start to the preseason but they were downed last night by the defending Eastern Conference Champion Orlando Magic by a 101-98 final. John Salmons led all scorers, putting up 19 points in the losing effort; Kirk Hinrich added 18 and Brad Miller tacked on 15 off the bench. With almost a minute-and-a-half left to play, the Bulls were up by three over the Magic - who remain undefeated in the preseason - but Orlando rattled off a 7-0 run to take a lead they wouldn't relinquish, hitting key free throws to keep the Bulls at bay. With a 5-2 preseason record, the Bulls have one preseason game left - this Friday at home against the Wizards (7 p.m., CSN) - before opening their 2009-2010 regular season on October 29.

Scoring 38 first half points won't cut it against most NBA teams and it certainly won't cut it against the Orlando Magic. That's all the Bulls could muster and despite outscoring the Magic 34-25 in the fourth quarter, the Bulls still fell by 19, 113-94. Joakim Noah led the Bulls with 19 points off the bench and Ben Gordon added 18. Gordon also had the understatement of the night when he said, "I think we can play a lot better than we're playing right now."
