No Cole, no JI, no Fultz, no problem, right? The answer for Orlando on this night was, unfortunately, no, with the defending champion Bucks accounting for the under-strength Magic after a furious fourth quarter rally by the visitors fell short.
Fouls were the story of the early game for Orlando, with Jalen Suggs and Wendell Carter Jr. both picking up a pair before the five minute mark. Unsurprisingly it was Giannis who was responsible for drawing almost all of them, with his power game at the hoop and energy on the offensive glass causing all sorts of trouble for Magic defenders.
