Milwaukee Bucks: Player Grades From 112-96 Loss To Orlando Magic

The Milwaukee Bucks failed to snap their losing streak after another disappointing showing on Friday night.

The winds of change may be circling the Milwaukee Bucks. Now two games below .500 and seemingly stuck in a run of poor form, Friday’s road defeat to the Orlando Magic may ultimately prove to be a catalyst for the Bucks to reassess the shape of their rotation.

In a game where Giannis Antetokounmpo didn’t score with the ease he’s become accustomed to recently, the Bucks were left wanting from a bench and supporting cast that not so long ago appeared to be one of the best in the league from a statistical point of view.

Some sharpshooting from Jabari Parker and Malcolm Brogdon kept the Bucks close for longer than the rest of their play likely warranted, as defense was nowhere to be found and the offense stalled.

The Bucks were effectively out of reach for the bulk of the fourth quarter, though, and many of the team’s bigger stars were left with plenty of time for soul searching as the clock ticked down.

How did the Bucks, Jason Kidd and the Magic grade overall on the night, though? Let’s take a closer look.
