LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla – Three thoughts on Milwaukee’s series-tying win over Orlando:
The Bucks rediscovered their defense
It's been a weird few weeks for Milwaukee, which watched a historically good pre-pandemic defense slip into the middle of the pack in the bubble.
The Magic lit up the Bucks in Game 1. In Game 2, Milwaukee’s defense sprung to life. Orlando’s numbers in the first quarter: 13 points, 12.5% from the floor, 9.1% from three. Overall, the Bucks held the Magic to 35% shooting from the floor (49% in Game 1) and 21% from three (39% on Tuesday).
