Bucks Seek Revenge Against Magic Tonight
12 Feb
Summary
- Bucks aim to bounce back after losing to Magic
- Orlando Magic were the more physical team in prior game
- Jamahl Mosley passes Doc Rivers for third in Magic coaching wins
The Milwaukee Bucks face an immediate opportunity for redemption as they prepare to meet the Orlando Magic again on Wednesday, this time in Orlando. The Magic recently extended their winning streak to three games with a decisive 118-99 victory over the Bucks, which also halted Milwaukee's own three-game win streak.
Milwaukee's coach, Doc Rivers, emphasized the importance of matching the Magic's physical play, citing Orlando's dominance in the second half of their last encounter. Kevin Porter Jr. echoed this sentiment, promising a more prepared and aggressive Bucks team for the rematch, despite the continued absence of Giannis Antetokounmpo.
In a notable coaching achievement, Orlando's Jamahl Mosley secured his 172nd win, moving past Rivers (171) for third place on the franchise's all-time coaching victories list. Meanwhile, Franz Wagner contributed 14 points in his return from a nine-game absence due to an ankle sprain, helping the Magic pursue a third consecutive win against Milwaukee.
