The Milwaukee Bucks defeated the Washington Wizards, 126-113, in an NBA seeding game in Orlando on Tuesday night.

The Bucks (56-16) checked into Tuesday's game looking to do some further tuning up for the postseason against a team that was already eliminated in the Wizards (24-47), but neither club was going through the motions early. After a competitive first quarter that Milwaukee emerged from with a 24-21 lead, Giannis Antetokunmpo, who'd started the day questionable due to his mouth injury, was ejected at the 8:50 mark of the second quarter for headbutting Washington's Moritz Wagner. The star big man still provided 12 points, nine rebounds, one assist and one steal in just 10 minutes, and the Bucks would go on to score 75 points overall in the middle periods to take a commanding 15-point advantage into the fourth quarter.

Brook Lopez paced the Bucks with 24 points ,adding three rebounds. Sterling Brown followed with 23 points, two rebounds, two assists and one steal in 30 minutes off the bench. Frank Mason registered 19 points, six assists, five rebounds and two steals. D.J. Wilson managed 11 points and five rebounds, while Patrick Connaughton finished with 10 points, eight rebounds, three assists and one steal.

Rui Hachimura led the Wizards with 20 points, supplementing them with five rebounds and one assist. Ish Smith went for 19 points, five assists and three rebounds. Jerome Robinson drew the start and collected 15 points, seven assists and four rebounds. Thomas Bryant generated 13 points, eight boards, one assist and one block. Isaac Bonga and Anzejs Pasecniks posted matching 10-point tallies, with Pasecniks adding six rebounds.

The Bucks finish their seeding game schedule with a matchup against the Memphis Grizzlies on Thursday afternoon, while the Wizards finish up their regular season with the first game of the day Thursday against the Boston Celtics.
