Brook Lopez bursts out
Remarkably, Orlando Magic came out very strong in the very first half which they kept till the very end. Nikola Vucevics 35-points and 14 rebounds, helped Magic take the win by 122-110.

The aggravation that the Bucks players were facing ended up being really obvious with their actions, especially center Brook Lopez. Lopez did not shoot a single hoop up until the very end of the second quarter. All of his attempts to drop from the deep were not successful, which we all know is a huge part of the Bucks video games.
Brook Lopez is disappointed.

Why is there so much pressure on the Bucks?
The first round of playoffs between the Milwaukee Bucks and Orlando Magic took an unexpected turn. All thanks to their potential MVP, Giannis Antetokounmpo, the Bucks had secured the top seed in the East. While Magic hardly made the cut and landed on 8th seed. Nikola Vucevics 35-points and 14 rebounds, assisted Magic take the win by 122-110.
It appeared like a sure-shot win for the Bucks but the Magic have actually outshined themselves and proven otherwise. Even after a healthy lineup and two-time MVP finalist on the team, the Bucks loss was rather embarrassing
Envision a team being the first seed for two consecutive years and not even make it to the finals, let alone win the champion. The Orlando Magic were currently at a huge downside because their essential players Mo Bamba and Jonathan Isaac were currently out for the season. On top of which, point player Michael Carter-Williams and forward Aaron Gordon were likewise noted out for the match.
