MILWAUKEE – Alternately solid offensively or defensively in recent games, but rarely both in the same night, the Orlando Magic came into Monday hoping to deliver the kind of balanced effort needed to take down the streaking Milwaukee Bucks.
The Magic’s problem on Monday, however, was that while both their offense and defense played well in spurts, they never could string the two together for long enough periods of time.
Facing a Milwaukee team on a historic run of domination, the Magic played one of their best all-around games of the season, but they still came up frustratingly short in a 110-101 loss to the Bucks at Fiserv Forum.
