With Joakim Noah on the shelf with flu-like symptoms, the Chicago Bulls (17-13) pulled together to beat the 12-20 Orlando Magic, 96-94, in Orlando on Wednesday night. 

The Bulls were in control of this game, 82-71, at the end of the third quarter, and they had to survive a late rally to hold onto the win. 

Jameer Nelson, who missed the previous two games with a hip injury, missed a jumper in the closing seconds that would have tied it. 

This was a tough loss for the sinking Magic, who are battling their own injury problems, and they have lost seven games in a row.
