The Orlando Magic defeated the Milwaukee Bucks, 113-88, at Amway Center on Sunday afternoon.

The Magic (47-35) came into the afternoon looking to both protect their postseason position and build some momentum heading into the playoffs, but matters got off on the wrong foot in that regard. The Bucks (49-33), which were aiming to maintain a hold of their No. 2 seed in the East, jumped out to a solid 30-22 lead. That seemed to serve as a wake-up call for Orlando, which dominated Milwaukee to the tune of a 25-12 advantage in the second quarter before extending its advantage by another four points in the third quarter. While that still left the visitors with a reasonably manageable deficit, the hosts left no doubt as to the outcome by opening the final period with an 11-0 run over the first 3:23 on the way to the very comfortable victory.

Bobby Portis and Khris Middleton co-led the Bucks with 17 points apiece while adding 10 rebounds and five assists, respectively. Portis added two blocks and two steals as well. Damian Lillard supplied 16 points, four rebounds, two assists and one steal. Brook Lopez compiled 11 points, three boards and two blocks.

Paolo Banchero paced the Magic with 26 points, complementing them with 11 rebounds and seven assists. Franz Wagner totaled 25 points, five rebounds, three assists and three steals. Cole Anthony turned in 13 points, five rebounds, four assists and two steals. Jonathan Isaac and Moritz Wagner generated matching 10-contributions, with Isaac adding eight rebounds and three blocks.

The Bucks and Magic will now await their final playoff placing and matchups.
