Can not underestimate how big that win was. We took a young team's absolute best shot in their house and we won. I haven't seen the Bucks play a full game this year, but I highly doubt they have played any better than they did tonight.

Great job!

Yeah, and the Bucks crowd was REALLY into the game.

Magic could've rolled over and taken a beating, getting on the plane to New York knowing they still had one of the best records in the league. But instead they fought through and pulled out a victory.

Down 17 at one point, and we came back and won. Love it.

The Orlando Magic followed a familiar script on Saturday night at the Bradley Center. They rode a high-energy and high-intensity third quarter to erase a halftime deficit and held on just long enough to get a big road win over the scrappy Milwaukee Bucks. Orlando won 100-98, in a game that literally came down to the last seconds, when Matt Barnes corralled a loose ball to secure the game.

Orlando came back from what was at one point a 17-point deficit, and they rode on the big broad shoulders of Dwight Howard to do it. Superman tallied 25 points and 20 rebounds to go along with 4 blocks, and many more shot alterations. Rashard Lewis played his most efficient game since returning from suspension, as he shot 6-9 from the field including 2-3 from deep, and he hit the game winning runner off the glass. Vince Carter poured in 25 more for the Magic, despite having to depart early in the game to receive 4 stitches after catching an errant elbow from Charlie Bell.

The Milwaukee Bucks fought until the end, and received large contributions from the bench, which poured in 46 of their 98 points. Luke Ridnour and Ersan Ilyasova paced Milwaukee with 20 points a piece, but neither could hit last-second shots that would have tied or won the game, respectively. Rookie stud Brandon Jennings poured in 18 points, and looked fearless as he attacked the league's reigning Defensive Player of The Year in Dwight Howard. Bucks' head coach Scott Skiles pulled out all the stops, resorting to intentionally fouling Dwight Howard midway through the fourth quarter, Dwight split the pair at the line and the strategy was then dumped.

The Magic shot 50.6% from the field, and out-rebounded the Bucks by 6, which were keys in clinching the victory. Another bright spot for the Magic was that Brandon Bass, seldom used lately, accounted for 8 points and 4 rebounds off the bench to provide a spark for the lethargic Orlando ball club.

The team, which now stands at 13-4 on the season, will travel to New York and will have a very short turn around as they are scheduled to duel the 3-13 New York Knicks at 6pm EST tomorrow night.

Glad we got the win tonight because there is no way we can win tomorrow night. We are playing in the Garden. Nobody wins up there. If you score 50 points in the Garden it is the greatest accomplishment in the history of basketball.

and that the Knicks are such a doormat of the NBA thus far. The Magic are resisting such adversities on the game that it's imminent for a rally to last almost two quarters! Wow!

The Bucks were making shots tonight, but I like they way the Magic just went about their business and was never rattled. The experience last season has really matured this team. Now if we can get our offense back on tract we will be able to hold that no. 1 spot!

Wish I could have saw this game because judging by your reactions and the boxscore... it was a good one. Plus I wanted to see Brandon Jennings in action. Good thing we kept him in check.
