Orlando Magic vs Milwaukee Bucks player stats and box score (Dec. 10) | 2024-25 NBA season

The Milwaukee Bucks are going to Las Vegas for the semifinals of the Emirates NBA Cup after beating the Orlando Magic 114-109 on Tuesday. Damian Lillard made multiple clutch shots, while Giannis Antetokounmpo sank two important free throws late in the game. The Bucks will face the winner of the Atlanta Hawks-New York Knicks showdown on Wednesday.

Jalen Suggs' 18 fourth-quarter points nearly dragged the Magic to an upset of the Buckets. He also missed two 3-pointers that could have turned the game around late in the final frame. Still, it was a gritty showing from the visitors who didn't have Paolo Banchero and Franz Wagner due to injuries.
