Orland Magic defeat Milwaukee Bucks, as Victor Oladipo returns to action
The Orlando Magic defeated the Milwaukee Bucks 101-85, Friday night at the Amway Center, as Victor Oladipo returned to action.
Oladipo missed much of training camp and the preseason with a sprained MCL. Coming off the bench, Oladipo contributed 13-points, three rebounds and two assists. He was 3 for 10 from the field and 6 for 8 at the line.
The Magic (4-6) were lead by Tobias Harris — a draftee of the Bucks — who finished the game with his third double-double of the season, scoring 26 points and grabbing 10 rebounds. This scoring output marked Harris’s fourth 20-point game.
Brandon Knight lead the Bucks, (4-5) scoring 18 of his 24 points in the first half for Milwaukee.
Despite an early 21-8 lead to start the game, the Bucks would trail for most of the first half and all of the second half.
The Magic will travel to Washington on Saturday to face the Wizards; the third of four meetings the division rivals are scheduled to play. The Bucks will continue their road trip Sunday night against the Miami Heat.
