How the bubble burst for the Magic in Game 5

The end has come again.

In a manner that is surface-level similar to any observer, the 2020 season draws to a close for the Magic much as the previous campaign did, with a five-game series loss in the opening round of the NBA playoffs. The more things change, the more they stay the same.

After stealing the opener from their more-fancied opponent Orlando were outscored by a cumulative 58 points over the final four contests, losing in a remarkably consistent fashion: 15 points, 14 points, 15 points, and then yesterday again by 14. But this series was a closer affair than the corresponding games against Toronto last year, with the Magic making the Bucks genuinely sweat on a handful of occasions.
