The Orlando Magic (8 - 8) destroyed the Milwaukee Bucks (6 - 10) 114 - 90 on Friday. In a game that was tied after the first quarter, there was very little suspense after that. Orlando outscored Milwaukee by 21 points in the second and third quarters and the result was decided well before the final whistle. The key to the Magic's success was their three - point shooting, as they went 12 - for - 27 from long distance. The assist - differential was huge as well, as Orlando recorded 30 to the Bucks 20. The Bucks played this game without a suspended Jason Kidd and they really did n't show up without their head coach. They once again allowed their opponent to run up and down the floor on them and did n't play much defense as well. That's been a scary trend for this Milwaukee team, as most experts had them pegged as a defensive powerhouse coming into the season. They allowed over 50 percent shooting in this game and it marks the fifth time they have allowed at least 114 points in their last six games. Clearly the Bucks are in a rough stretch right now and it wo n't get much easier when they have to travel to North Carolina to take on the scorching - hot Charlotte Hornets on Sunday. The Magic played some great basketball in this game and they were finally being rewarded for their great play. They shot over 50 percent from the field in this game and were moving the ball extremely well. They were led by a fantastic performance from Elfrid Payton, who tallied 22 points and 10 assists in the win. The Magic made a curious move in the last game by moving Victor Oladipo to the bench, but he had another nice game here. Oladipo totaled 17 points, nine assists and six rebounds in just 24 minutes off the bench. Orlando will look to keep the momentum going against the Boston Celtics on Sunday.
