NBA ROUNDUP : Magic Stops Bulls’ Win Streak at 10

Shaquille O’Neal had 32 points, 14 rebounds and two blocked shots as the Orlando Magic ended the Chicago Bulls’ winning streak at 10 with a 118-101 victory Sunday at Orlando.

Scottie Pippen led the Bulls with 34 points, but none of them came in the final quarter. Horace Grant had 17 points, and made another point during a halftime interview.

Grant told NBC’s Peter Vecsey that he is “totally committed to leaving” the Bulls.

Why?

“If they really wanted me to be a Chicago Bull for the rest of my life, they would have signed me,” said Grant, who said he would like to play for the Magic.

“I think, if I’m not mistaken, Shaq said publicly that (they) need a power forward like Horace Grant. And he’s the man down there. So talk to ‘em, Shaq.”
