ORLANDO, Fla. — Paolo Banchero scored 26 points, Franz Wagner added 25 and Jonathan Isaac headed a shutdown defensive effort in his second start of the season for the Orlando Magic, who secured the No. 5 spot in the Eastern Conference with a 113-88 win over the Milwaukee Bucks. The Magic snapped a three-game skid with the win in their season finale and finished at 47-35. They will face fourth-seeded Cleveland in the first round of the East playoffs. A loss would have dropped Orlando into a play-in spot. Khris Middleton and Bobby Portis scored 17 points each for Milwaukee. The Bucks finished third in the East and will play Indiana in the first round.
