The Milwaukee Bucks beаt the Orlando Magic 118–114 on the road. This is the fourth game in a row that the Magic have lost, which is their worst stretch of the season.
Two-time NBA MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo scored 37 points, grabbed 10 boards, passed the ball six times, and blocked two shots. Orlando couldn’t stop him.

Moe Wagner scored 21 points by making 10 of 15 field goal shots and grabbing eight rebounds. The Magic lost 16–11 on the season because it wasn’t enough to keep up with the Bucks.
The four games that Orlando has lost in a row are the biggest of the season for them. They include tonight’s loss, a 115-106 loss to the Miami Heat, and two straight losses to the Boston Celtics. One of the four times the Magic lost, they were behind by at least 15 points. In all but tonight, they were behind by at least 20 points.
They couldn’t play because Joe Ingles and Jalen Suggs hurt their left ankles and wrists and couldn’t even make it to the game.
Paolo Banchero, a sophomore forward, scored 23 points, but he had another bad night shooting, making only 6 of 17 shots. In the last five games, he has made only 27 of 76 shots from the floor, which is only 35.5%.
Milwaukee was a tough place for the team to shoot the ball. They made a terrible 8 of 33 shots from downtown and missed seven free throws. The Magic had missed at least 10 three-point shots 12 times this season.
The Magic will try to end their losing streak when they play the Indiana Pacers on the road at 7 p.m. on Saturday.
