After Action Report

In Milwaukee, the Bucks pulled away from the Magic 99-82. Ugly basketball, but the Bucks did just enough. Shots just aren't falling for the Bucks lately; Bucks' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. The Magic looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. The Magic rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Survive-and-advance type win.

What tipped it

  • Bucks · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • Magic · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
  • Magic · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
