Magic Hang Tough With Defending Champs Before Falling Short

The Lead

Despite having just nine players available, several of whom were in the G League a couple weeks ago, the Orlando Magic gave the defending champions all they can handle for the first three quarters before Giannis Antetokounmpo, Khris Middleton and the rest of the Milwaukee Bucks flexed their muscle in their 136-118 victory on Thursday night at Amway Center.

Top Performers

Generating offense certainly wasn’t the problem for the Magic, who shot 48.3 percent from the field and 36.1 percent from 3-point range. Six Orlando players scored in double figures, including Franz Wagner, who scored 20 points, and his older brother Moe Wagner, who posted 19 points.
