Giannis had no opponent, and Thanasis tried to inspire change, but the Bucks were beaten in Orlando (112-97) as Adrian Griffin sent a message to some of Milwaukee’s players. Lillard is out.
The loss on the road to the Indiana Pacers hurt them, especially since their leader scored 54 points. The Bucks appeared powerless in Orlando, were ghosts of their good selves for most of the matchup with the Magic, found themselves trailing by as many as 21 points, and were ultimately defeated (112-97) in Game 9 of the regular season. .
Giannis Antetokounmpo was a leader (36 points, 15/21 2-pointers, 10 rebounds, 7 assists, 4 steals, 2 blocks in 36 minutes), and Thanasis Antetokounmpo inspired those around him with his tenacity and determination in the late and early fourth quarter. When the Magic made it difficult with defense, pressure on the ball and endless energy, but from there the Bucks didn’t have much to gain from this game. They fell to 5-4 (4-1 at home and 1-3 on the road), with Damian Lillard missing for the second straight game, Khris Middleton limited to minutes, Brook Lopez unassisted, and Malik Beasley invisible and disappointing.
Jae Crowder departed due to an injury issue and apart from the Antetocobros, their coach stood out for the game with Beasley, Connaughton, Payne and Lopez remaining on the bench. He favored the rookies Andre Jackson – Chris Livingston, Marjon Beauchamp and AJ Green, with whom he lived and walked the floor. This was the Bucks’ first loss to the Magic after a 14-game winning streak. With 9/29 three-pointers and 12/25 shooting, they couldn’t ask for more.
The Magic rose to 5-4 (3-2 at home and 2-2 away), joining the Bucks in the Eastern Conference. Banquero and Franz Wagner boosted their stats, Jalen Suggs scored 18 points in the first half, a forgotten and injury-plagued Jonathan Isaac made the difference on defense and offense after coming off the bench, and Orlando showed that when Markelle Fultz and Gary were injured. Harris, Wendell Carter will be able to look into the eyes of every opponent. Great team, with balance.
The Bucks’ next opponent is the Chicago Bulls, in the early hours of Tuesday (14/11 at 03:00) in Milwaukee.
Giannis Antetokounmpo account
In the first period of the game, Payne assisted on a three-pointer, and in the second he won shots and then completed his scoring stats. He played 9:12 in the first half (6/2/2/1/1), picked up his second foul early in the second half, but played a lot again in the half as well as having 17 points on 8/12 2-pointers and shooting 1/ 5, he was the only one who looked ready for this matchup, perhaps with Cam Paine.
At the beginning of Part 2, with Magic +21, he gets upset and explodes with solo efforts. First he “emptied” Banchero and demolished Petazzi, then he again took power and for a while seemed to be playing alone against everyone. It trailed by 19 points late in the third period, but Thanassis’ entry gave it motivation and Griffin kept it in the game early in the fourth. There Giannis found support, and his team was down to 11 (99-88), but at this point they took a quick 5-0 run from the Magic and resigned themselves to their fate.
