Jalen Suggs battled through bumps and bruises to score a career-high 32 points for the Orlando Magic in their 114-109 loss to the Milwaukee Bucks on Tuesday in
the NBA Cup quarterfinal round.standout exited with about five minutes left in the third quarter while holding his right wrist. Orlando couldn’t afford to lose another key player with Paolo Banchero and Franz Wagner both sidelined due to torn obliques. Especially against a Bucks team that entered the night having won eight of their past 10 contest.
From pull-up 3-pointers to acrobatic finishes at the rim, Suggs carried Orlando offensively in the fourth quarter as he scored 18 points, including 10 straight, to put his team in a position to potentially tie the game in the final seconds. He knocked down a 3-pointer to knot things up at 100 apiece with 3:07 left in regulation, then put the Magic out in front with an 18-foot jumpshot to make it 104-103 at the 1:45 mark.
Suggs had two good looks from long range in the final 12 seconds, though he misfired on both as the Magic’s late fourth-quarter rally came up just short in the end. Anthony Black had 17 points and Moritz Wagner scored 13 points off the bench, while Goga Bitadze recorded a 12-point, 14-rebound double-double.
