It wasn’t easy against a shorthanded Orlando Magic squad, but the Milwaukee Bucks pulled away and beat the Magic 111-104. The Bucks won an important conference matchup game as they improved their record to 31-24 on the season.
The Bucks struggled out of the gates and shot 0% from behind the 3-point line in the first quarter, trailing Orlando 25-29 after the first 15 minutes. Despite the Magic turning over the ball 10 times in the first half, the Bucks couldn’t quite capitalize
as they staggered behind the Magic 50-54 after the first 30 minutes of regulation.
After the half, the Bucks offense started clicking, with four 3-point makes that helped them take a 78-74 advantage as the fourth quarter started. Milwaukee was able to sustain their lead the duration of the forth quarter thanks to clutch shooting from the team’s big three: Giannis Antetokounmpo, Khris Middleton, & Eric Bledsoe.
With another victory under their belts, the Bucks look to earn another W as they take on the Atlanta Hawks this coming Tuesday.
