The Orlando Magic decimated the Milwaukee Bucks, pushing them to the breaking point and got great performances throughout the roster from big players.

114. 38. 90. 89. Final

The Orlando Magic had seen this script before. Look a little shaky but take the lead into the halftime locker room. Make shots, but turn the ball over. Give fans a reason for hope and some reasons for concern. With the team’s inconsistency, it was always uncertain which way the team would go.

This time, the Magic came out and flat dominated the third quarter. The Bucks own historical issues with the third quarter (yes, they are much worse than the Magic), outweighed whatever problems the Magic have. But Orlando still took the game.

In the 114-90 win over the Bucks on Friday at Amway Center, the Magic shot 52.4 percent form the floor and 12 of 27 3-pointers overall. They outscored the Bucks 37-22 in the fourth quarter, to take complete control of the game.

The Magic led by as much as 29 points and took complete control of the game. After that initial push in the third quarter, the Bucks never got closer than 11 points.

Orlando dominated the game through and through with several great performances from different players throughout the game.

F. <p>It is hard to explain what is going on with the Milwaukee Bucks. The defense is terrible and the offense has not found its rhythm.</p><p>The Magic did a good job defending the Bucks and keeping them from getting any sort of consistency — they shot 41.9 percent. There were no threats on the Magic though, a team that has had its own inconsistency. The Bucks came out of the locker room with so little energy, they got blitzed and were done.</p><p><strong><a href=. 6-10. 13th East. MILWAUKEE BUCKS
