Milwaukee Bucks wrestle with Orlando Magic, come out on top 118–108
The Milwaukee Bucks were able to pull away late from the Orlando Magic, helping boost their momentum at the top of the Eastern Conference and hopefully giving them something to ride on moving forward.
Toronto and Milwaukee are neck and neck for the top spot in the Eastern Conference, but the win tonight over Orlando gives the Bucks more of an edge.
Eric Bledsoe dropped a team-high 30 points followed closely by Giannis Antetokounmpo, who scored 25 points.
Fortunately for the Bucks, they were able to separate themselves from the Magic in rebounding, 46–32. Orlando took better care of the ball, with just nine turnovers to 13 of Milwaukee, but still lost by double-digits.
Nikola Vucevic had the best night for the Magic, scoring 27 points in 30 minutes.
Up next, Orlando will travel to Atlanta while Milwaukee will go back home to host Dallas — both on Monday.
