The Milwaukee Bucks pulled off the win in the bubble in their Game Four matchup against the Orlando Magic. The top-seed Bucks now need one more win in order to advance to the second round.
Following a dominating Game Three win, the Bucks went back-and-forth with the Magic for much of the game. The team did not pull away until late in the game. The Magic outscored the Bucks 29-26 in the third quarter. However, the Bucks sealed the win by outscoring their opponents 37-25 in the fourth.
The Bucks were, of course, led by Giannis Antetokounmpo who had 31 points, 15 rebounds, and eight assists. Khris Middleton, silent for most of the game, added 21 points and 10 rebounds. He scored 18 of his 21 points in the fourth quarter, stepping up when the team needed him the most. Kyle Korver (10), Brook Lopez (10), and Wes Matthews (12) also scored in double figures for the Bucks.
Nikola Vucevic again had a stellar game for the short-handed Magic. He scored 31 points and added 11 rebounds and seven assists. For a while, it looked like the Bucks had no answer for the pick-and-rolls which left Vucevic open for wide-open looks.
