The Milwaukee Bucks built a 23-point lead in the first half and held off Orlando to even their first-round playoff series at a game apiece Thursday.
Giannis Antetokounmpo had 28 points and 20 rebounds in the 111-96 victory.
The Magic did cut the lead to nine points in the fourth quarter, but never got closer.
Brook Lopez chipped in 20 points and Pat Connaughton connected on five-of-eight 3-pointers. Nikola Vucevic was outstanding for Orlando again, scoring 32.
The Bucks ramped up their defensive intensity after some lackluster efforts in the seeding games.
The two teams meet Saturday in the third game of the best-of-seven series, in a game you can hear on 107.9 FM WOMT, and at WOMTRadio.com.
