Milwaukee vs. Orlando: Bucks Outlast Shorthanded Magic

It wasn’t easy against a shorthanded Orlando Magic squad, but the Milwaukee Bucks burned Orlando’s wizardry at the stake to win 111-104. An 0-fer for Mileaukee from beyond the arc in the first quarter put them behind the 8-ball early, trailing 29-25 to the Magic heading into the second quarter. Orlando carried that same advantage into halftime, as the stagnated Bucks offense couldn’t produce despite the Magic coughing the ball up ten times. Orlando’s 54-50 lead also partially stemmed from their proficient 7-16 (46.7%) performance behind the arc. After half, the Bucks offense finally started clicking, with four 3-point makes that helped them take a 78-74 advantage as the fourth quarter started. Orlando tried to prolong the game late with some incessant fouling, but clutch shots from KEG stifled their attempts and put Milwaukee over the edge.
