Magic Win 5th Straight, Tie Toronto for 6th in the East

Franz Wagner dropped 25 points and Jamal Cain added 20 as the Orlando Magic stomped the Chicago Bulls 127-103 to extend their winning streak to five games. Orlando led by as many as 28 in what was essentially a clinic.

The Magic are now tied with Toronto for the 6th seed in the Eastern Conference — the last spot that avoids the play-in tournament. With one game left in the regular season on Sunday, Orlando controls its own destiny. Win and you're in. Lose and you're sweating.

After a rough stretch earlier in the season, Orlando has caught fire at exactly the right time. Five straight wins heading into the final day of the season is the kind of momentum that can carry into the postseason. Chicago, meanwhile, dropped its 8th loss in 10 games. Tre Jones had 23 but it didn't matter.
