Bucks Throttle Magic, 124-87
The Milwaukee Bucks defeated the Orlando Magic, 124-87, at Amway Center on Sunday night.

The Bucks (33-20) had played their most recent game extremely short-handed and still emerged with a win, so getting four of their five starters back from injury Sunday seemed to portend good things for Milwaukee, even with Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee) still missing. The visitors left no doubt as to what type of night it would be from the opening tip, jumping out to a 13-point lead through one quarter that had expanded to 19 by halftime. The Magic (17-36) played more competitively in the third quarter but still only shaved a single point from their deficit, and the Bucks then let their second unit loose in the fourth quarter and still put up another 39 points.

Khris Middleton led the way for the Bucks with 21 points, adding eight rebounds, five assists, one steal and one block. Bobby Portis produced a 16-point, 10-rebound double-double that also included one assist and one steal. Bryn Forbes furnished 13 points, three boards, two assists and three steals. Jrue Holiday delivered 12 points, seven assists, five rebounds, one steal and one block. Pat Connaughton and Jordan Nwora supplied 11 points apiece.

Mo Bamba paced the Magic with 21 points, complementing them with five rebounds and one block. Cole Anthony turned in 12 points, seven boards, five assists, one steal and one block. Michael Carter-Williams and Gary Harris contributed matching nine-point tallies while recording two rebounds and two assists, respectively.

The Bucks remain on the road and next visit the Minnesota Timberwolves on Wednesday night, while the Magic host the San Antonio Spurs on Monday night.
