Close out time here for Milwaukee. After being shocked in Game 1, the Bucks have won three in a row.
The Bucks' defense stepped up in the fourth quarter of Game 4 when the Magic were semi hanging in holding Orlando to 25 points.
I'm expecting a carryover of that Bucks' defensive intensity. The Magic lack the outside shooters to attack the Bucks' lone defensive weakness, which is just average in 3-point defense. Orlando is averaging only 103 points in its last three games.
Defense is the Magic's strength. Orlando ranked fifth during the regular season defensively holding opponents to an average of 108.3 points per game. Unlike every other team in the bubble, the Magic don't have anywhere to go after their season is finished since the games are being played in Orlando. Magic coach Steve Clifford promised his team would go out with a supreme effort. That's going to come on the defensive end.
The Bucks averaged 110.5 points during the first two games of the series. Milwaukee has scored 121 in each of the last two games. The Bucks shot 56 percent and 49 percent from the floor during these two last games. The Bucks are a good shooting team, but they aren't that good! The Bucks average 47.6 percent from the floor.
The oddsmaker probably nailed the point spread correctly, but I think he's too high on the total.
