The Magic maintained their lead in Game 1 by withstanding every punch the Bucks delivered, and punching right back.
Having taken the shorthanded underdogs too lightly, placing themselves in an unexpected 1-0 hole, the Bucks likely are preparing to counter with a Mike-Tyson-in-his prime right hook to the chin of the Magic.
“That was probably the biggest lesson we learned from last year,” Evan Fournier told reporters following Game 1. “That you have to progress within the series, progress after every game and you get a better understanding of how the other team is playing you.”
So, the question becomes, how equipped will the Magic be to fight back in Game 2?
