The victory pushed Orlando’s winning streak to three games.

The Bucks once again played without Giannis Antetokounmpo due to a calf injury and leaned on Kevin Porter Jr., who poured in a game high 28 points to go with seven assists. AJ Green also contributed, hitting four of eight shots from deep and finishing with 15 points.

Milwaukee’s newest addition, guard Cam Thomas, who signed with the Bucks as a free agent on Sunday, finished with four points in 13 minutes of action.

Jericho Sims capped the surge with a driving layup to put Milwaukee ahead 47 to 46, and the Bucks carried a 54 to 51 advantage into halftime.

Mo Wagner drilled two three pointers, with Franz Wagner and Jase Richardson each adding one during a 14 to 2 run late in the third quarter that pushed Orlando’s lead to 15. Anthony Black then seized control in the fourth, scoring the Magic’s first three baskets before knocking down a three that extended the advantage to 20.
