The Orlando Magic dominated the Milwaukee Bucks 130–91 on March 8 at Fiserv Forum, a 39-point blowout that fell well short of the Vegas total of 216.5 points. Paolo Banchero led the Magic with 33 points while Jalen Suggs added 20, as Orlando shot 56.3 percent from the field and made 14 three-pointers. The Magic's defense was suffocating, holding Milwaukee to a 42.9 field-goal percentage and forcing the Bucks into 16 turnovers. Orlando's third quarter proved decisive, outscoring Milwaukee 33–15 to effectively put the game away; the Magic finished with a 129.5 offensive rating and held the Bucks to 94.1. Bobby Portis led Milwaukee with 18 points and Cole Thomas contributed 17, but the Bucks' 36 rebounds and 22 assists could not overcome their defensive collapse—they surrendered 49 boards and allowed 31 Magic assists. Orlando's balanced attack and lockdown perimeter defense suggest the Magic are building dangerous playoff form.
