The Orlando Magic controlled this first contest from tip, flummoxing the Milwaukee Bucks offensively as they sputtered to an embarrassing loss behind equally sieve-like defense in an 122-110 loss. Every element of this loss should be what energizes a Bucks team that’s paid lip service to bringing energy after a lackluster seeding game performance, but it looks like we’ll have to wait until Thursday to see if they snap out of this haze.
Milwaukee came out of the game with the same lethargy they displayed during the seeding games, as Bud scrambled his lineups mid-quarter, going small as the Magic shot 63.
