The Orlando Magic will welcome the Milwaukee Bucks to Rocket Mortgage Fieldhouse for an NBA game on Tuesday. The Orlando Magic lost 119-122 in their last game over the Blazers. Paolo Banchero led Orlando with 26 points. Franz Wagner added 24, and Markelle Fultz finished with 15 points, eight assists and four steals.
Two 3-pointers by Lillard and one by Shaedon Sharpe filled a run late in the third quarter that broke an 83-all tie and left Portland with a nine-point lead, the largest of the game. The Magic did not catch up until Fultz drove for a layup to tie it at 113 with 58 seconds left. Nassir Little answered with a 3-pointer, and the rest of the game was all free throws. “The ball was swung to (Little) and he hit the biggest shot of the game,” Lillard said.
“It showed a lot of growth on his part.” “We know everybody’s going to do the best they can to take Dame away, and everybody else has to be aggressive,” said Portland coach Chauncey Billups. “That was a big-time shot.” Portland led 58-56 after a first half in which Banchero made all seven of his shots and scored 16 points. Lillard scored 14 points in the first half and missed all six of his 3-point attempts. The second half was a different ball game, especially for Lillard.
The Milwaukee Bucks on the other hand lost 111-117 against the Wizards in their last game. Giannis Antetokounmpo scored 23 points, had a season-high 13 assists and rebounded his intentionally missed shot with a second left for his fourth-triple double of the season as the NBA-leading Milwaukee Bucks beat the Washington Wizards 117-111 on Sunday night. Jevon Carter added 20 points while shooting 6 of 10 from beyond the arc, and Jrue Holiday scored 19 in Milwaukee’s victory a night after a home loss to Philadelphia snapped a 16-game win streak.
It was just about over when Antetokounmpo dribbled to the basket and lightly tossed the ball off the backboard to himself for his 10th rebound.“I was thinking about scoring the ball, but I feel like in those situations it’s best to kind of keep the ball,” Antetokounmpo said. “But yeah, I just try to play the game smart and kind of stole one.” The Bucks made 22 of their 49 attempts beyond the arc, the most allowed by the Wizards this season, while moving 1 1/2 games in front of Boston for first in the Eastern Conference.
“We feel like we’ve got a lot of depth,” said Milwaukee coach Mike Budenholzer, who had six players hit multiple 3s. “We’ve got a lot of guys that are good shooters that can get hot from the 3-point line. So that’s part of a good team and being able to play on back-to-backs and make it through the season and be prepared for the playoffs.”
