Spirited, short-handed Magic effort can’t stop potent Bucks
The Orlando Magic were right in the game with the Milwaukee Bucks with nine minutes remaining. Then the wheels came off.
Orlando had just pulled within 86-84 after an Aaron Gordon dunk attempt over Giannis Antetokounmpo that rolled around the rim and in. From there, however, the Magic, who had played catch-up most of the game, watched as the Bucks took control to go on to win 121-99.
“I thought we had the game right there,” Magic head coach Steve Clifford said. “We played a good three quarters. ... The game was the first three-and-a-half minutes of the fourth quarter.”
