If you had asked me before last night’s game just how well two teams coming in on late flights for the second game of a back-to-back would look, I’d have said it would be an ugly slopfest. The Milwaukee Bucks and Orlando Magic did their very best to live up to that hype, though it was Milwaukee who persevered to a 111-100 victory.
Though, admittedly, it didn’t look like it’d be too bad if the first quarter was anything to go off of. While Orlando took a bit to get into gear, the Bucks were throwing all sorts of strange combinations out there: Donte-Ersan pick-and-rolls, Brook Lopez post-ups, Khris Middleton isos, and a whole bunch of other work from an all-sub unit to end the quarter gave Milwaukee a 37-25 lead.
