Giannis Antetokounmpo had 28 points and 17 rebounds and the Milwaukee Bucks beat the Orlando Magic 118-104 on Saturday (Sunday in Manila) to close out the Eastern Conference series in five games. But they showed little interest in congratulating themselves or talking about basketball after the first NBA game played since they declined to take the court on Wednesday night, when Game 5 was originally scheduled. ”Trying to end racial injustice and end racism and make this world a better place is still more important than anything we did today,” Bucks coach Mike Budenholzer said. The Bucks still led by 20 with about three minutes left in the third quarter before Orlando surged back into the game. The Bucks called timeout, starters checked back in, and Milwaukee quickly pulled away again, starting with Williams’ 3 after Lopez’s offensive rebound.
