The Orlando Magic's NBA Cup journey ended with a loss to the Milwaukee Bucks. Despite missing key players, the Magic showcased resilience and strong defense, nearly matching the Bucks step for step. That is something to be proud of even if there is still much to work on after a loss in the Playoff-like environment.
The Orlando Magic showed resilience and their identity in an NBA Cup loss against the Milwaukee Bucks. In their second game since Franz Wagner's injury, the Magic again showed their resolve and that they will not be a pushover. More than that, they showed they can win.
But little plays throughout the game cost them and Damian Lillard made the plays down the stretch to ice the game and send themselves to Las Vegas and the Orlando Magic home. A critical lesson for the Magic before the Playoffs.
