Orlando, Fla. ? The Orlando Magic are running out of time to make a playoff push.

Kirk Hinrich scored 25 points, Tyson Chandler added 15 points and 22 rebounds, and the Chicago Bulls beat Orlando, 102-101, Wednesday night to deal the Magic’s postseason hopes a serious blow.

Combined with Philadelphia’s victory over Charlotte, Orlando is 21/2 games out of the Eastern Conference’s eighth and final playoff berth with seven games remaining. The Magic have lost three of four, and Grant Hill is out indefinitely because of a sore left shin.

“It may look bleak, but I’ve seen stranger things happen,” Orlando coach Chris Jent said. “But we can’t keep saying that.”

Hill, who has missed three straight games, underwent a CT scan earlier Wednesday, and the team hopes to know the results today.

Orlando GM John Weisbrod said the pain in the shin wasn’t related to the ankle woes that sidelined Hill for most of the previous three seasons.

The Bulls’ victory came on the heels of a loss Tuesday at Miami that snapped their nine-game winning streak. Chicago now has a one-game lead over Washington for fourth place after the Wizards lost, 105-93, to Detroit.

After Ben Gordon missed a runner on Chicago’s final possession, Antonio Davis rebounded and was fouled by Kelvin Cato on the put-back try. Davis, shooting 74 percent from the line this season, missed the first then swished the second.

“After missing the first one, you don’t feel good about the second one,” said Davis, who finished with 11 points and 14 rebounds.
