Milwaukee (1) - Orlando (8) 122: 110 (The Magic went up to 0: 1 in the series)
The alarming news for Milwaukee: The ability of Yannis Antocompo and his teammates in the first game of the playoffs was a direct continuation of the shuffle that characterized it in the bubble. The encouraging news, despite the loss: Last season Toronto lost to the same Orlando in Game 1 of the first round, and went all the way to a historic championship. Either way, tonight's game is a warning light for the Bucks, who displayed a nerve-wracking defense from the first moment, fell into a quick double-digit lag, and failed to produce a real comeback until the end, even as they approached.
The Magic, who few counted on the eve of the start of the playoffs, hope this is not a one-time and unrepresentative rise - and get a good reason to fantasize about a splash later in the series. Nikola Wojciech did as much as he could in front of the guards that Mike Bodenholzer's team sent towards him, finishing with 35 points, 12 rebounds and also 4 assists. He was aided by Terence Ross who provided 18 points from the bench and the Jokers Merkel Poltz and Gary Clark, who in their first playoff appearance scored 15 points each and were signed to escape in the first half.
In Milwaukee, on the other hand, teamwork was lost. Although Yannis Antocompo finished with 30 points, 16 rebounds and 7 assists, the assist team was far from his peak, with the entire team accurate by just 31 percent off the arc. George Hill scored 16, but to get far in this playoffs, Milwaukee will need a significant upgrade.
