Encouraging to see the Magic put away a team in the second half, after a very slow start to the game.
Only things to be concerned about for the Magic were the bad free throw percentage and the fact the Bucks grabbed so many offensive rebounds, despite their lack of height.
Other than that, the Magic dominated the game statistically.
