The Milwaukee Bucks<\/a> are moving on to the Eastern Conference semi-finals after a 4-1 first-round series victory over the Orlando Magic<\/a>. Although the Magic made things interesting with their first game upset, the Bucks straightened out quickly and dominated the remainder of the series.<\/p>\n

Recapping the Milwaukee Bucks vs Orlando Magic Playoff Series<\/strong><\/h2>\n

First Game Upset<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The Magic winning the first game came as a surprise to many. The Bucks were picked by many to sweep the series. Orlando was short-handed with\u00a0Jonathan Isaac<\/a><\/strong>,\u00a0Mo Bamba<\/strong><\/a>, and\u00a0Aaron Gordon<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong>out for the series.<\/p>\n

Nikola Vucevic<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong>stepped up big time in the first game. His 34 points and 14 rebounds came on 15-24 shooting from the field and 5-8 shooting from three. Beyond that, he finished with a plus\/minus of plus-14, showing how massive of an impact he had.<\/p>\n

Although\u00a0Evan Fournier<\/a><\/strong>, the second option on offense, struggled,\u00a0Markelle Fultz <\/a><\/strong>and Gary Clark <\/a><\/strong>combined for 30 points.\u00a0Terrence Ross<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong>scored 18 off the bench, while\u00a0DJ Augustin<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong>had 11 assists in just 23 minutes.<\/p>\n

Giannis Antetokounmpo <\/strong><\/a>still had a great game in the loss. His 31 point, 17 rebounds, and 7 assists night were as good as one could’ve asked for. He couldn’t do it all on his own, however, as the Bucks lost due in large part to Khris Middleton<\/a><\/strong>‘s poor shooting night.
