Desmond Bane added 21 points to help Orlando impro ve to 2-0 in NBA Cup group play. Milwaukee fell to 0-2 in the group that also includes Brooklyn, Detroit and Toronto. Tyler Herro had 18 points for Milwaukee, which lost a ninth straight game to equal its longest streak since a nine-game slide Jan. 2-19, 2014.

And when the Bucks were within eight in the final minute, Wagner stole the ball and used a Euro-step layup to give Orlando a 104-94 advantage. He finished with nine rebounds. The Magic also got a season-high 12 points from Goga Bitadze, half on alley-oop dunks off Wagner’s passes. Tristan da Silva, who missed two games with a calf injury, returned to the lineup and also had 12 points. Up next Bucks: Hosts Atlanta on Sunday night.
