Lillard scores 30 as Bucks roll to a 122-93 victory over Magic
MILWAUKEE (AP) Damian Lillard scored 30 points and Giannis Antetokounmpo had 26 points and 11 rebounds as the Milwaukee Bucks capitalized on a fast start for the second straight night and trounced the Orlando Magic 122-93 on Wednesday.
The Bucks (22-17) passed Orlando (23-19) to take over fourth place in the Eastern Conference. The Bucks are 3-0 against the Magic, with the finale of the season series scheduled for March 8 at Milwaukee.
Milwaukee led 34-16 at the end of the first quarter and rolled to its most lopsided victory of the season. The Bucks were playing one night after racing to a 47-26 advantage in the opening period of a 130-115 victory over Sacramento that snapped the Kings' seven-game win streak.
Paolo Banchero scored 22 points for Orlando.
Bucks guard Andre Jackson Jr. didn’t play in the second half after bruising a hip.
Magic: Five nights after losing 109-106 to the Bucks in a game that went down to the wire, the Magic never had a chance in this one due to their shooting woes. Orlando shot 34.7% from the field, the lowest percentage the Bucks have allowed in any game this season.
Bucks: One night after posting their highest point total of the season, the Bucks shot a season-high 62.5% while continually getting open looks in the paint.
Milwaukee scored 19 straight points in the first quarter to open a 27-9 lead. Lillard scored nine points during that spurt, including a 3-pointer from over 30 feet away.
Orlando went 12 of 46 while Milwaukee was 7 of 12 from 3-point range. According to Sportradar, the Bucks had the fewest 3-point attempts by a team in any NBA game this season.
Both teams play again Friday, with the Magic visiting the Boston Celtics and the Bucks hosting the Toronto Raptors.
