Magic hit 50 win mark in rout over Bucks
It looked like the Magic (50-18) would be in for a tough game as Milwaukee (31-39) jumped out to a quick 9-5 lead, but after that it was all Magic the rest of the game. The Magic proceeded to outscore the Bucks 31-11 the rest of the quarter for a 36-20 lead at the end of one, as Dwight Howard scored 18 of his team-high 28 points in the first. The Magic held a huge 30 point halftime lead 65-35, and the Bucks never got closer than 20 pts in the second half, as the Magic cruised to victory 106-80.

I was surprised at how easy the win was for the Magic, considering that the Bucks had beaten Boston on Sunday and had two days of rest, while the Magic were coming off a very tough loss the previous night.
It sure doesn't look like the Bucks will make the playoffs now.

Boston isnt the same team without garnett and the bucks are pretty strong at the forwards position,that probably had alot to do with the win. At the same time the magic's tough loss to cleveland wasnt an overtime game or anything so guys played their normal amount of minutes and they were ready to go the next night,plus SVG expanded his rotation an used all 12 players against the bucks. I just wonder why JJ didnt get any minutes against a small SG position player like delonte west?
