Orlando held a 28–18 lead over Milwaukee early in the second quarter of Friday’s NBA Cup Group Play game at Kia Center, according to CBS Sports’ live play-by-play. That is a live snapshot, not a final score: the available game feeds did not provide a consistent, confirmed final result or complete postgame box score at the time of this update.

What is the live score of Bucks vs. Magic?
Orlando led Milwaukee 28–18 early in the second quarter, according to CBS Sports’ play-by-play page. At the listed moment, the Magic had made 11 of 22 field-goal attempts, while the Bucks had gone 6 for 26. Orlando also had eight assists to Milwaukee’s three. Those figures describe only that in-game snapshot and should not be read as final statistics.
The feeds available for this update were inconsistent: the CBS page carried a “FINAL” label while its score, quarter, play-by-play and player totals still showed the game in the second quarter. NBA.com confirmed the matchup, venue and scheduled tip but did not expose a completed result in the accessible game summary. For that reason, a final score, winning team and full-game leaders cannot be reliably reported here yet.
Who were the top performers in the live snapshot?
Franz Wagner was Orlando’s leading scorer at the time shown, with 11 points on 4-of-6 shooting. He had also made one of two three-point attempts, converted both free throws and recorded three assists. His early production helped the Magic build separation, but it does not establish who finished as the game’s top performer.
For Milwaukee, Turner had six points on 2-of-3 shooting from the field, including 2-of-3 from beyond the arc. Rookie Nate Ament had three points and three rebounds in the snapshot. The Bucks were generating second chances, with eight offensive rebounds to Orlando’s one, but their 23.1% field-goal rate left them behind on the scoreboard. The live figures suggest a sharp contrast between Milwaukee’s rebounding and Orlando’s more efficient shooting; the completed box score is needed to determine whether that pattern held.
What changed before tipoff?
The game followed contrasting recent stretches. CBS Sports’ preview said Orlando had won two straight road games, against Sacramento and Utah, while Milwaukee entered on an eight-game losing streak. The preview also noted the Bucks’ difficulty scoring and defending during that stretch. These are pregame records and context, not a substitute for the result of Friday’s game.
One major lineup development was Banchero’s absence. The NBA injury report published Nov. 12 listed the Magic forward as out with a right high ankle sprain. Orlando therefore entered the matchup without its leading scorer, increasing the importance of Wagner and Desmond Bane’s creation. The report is a dated pregame listing, so it does not verify any in-game injury development.
What could the result mean for NBA Cup Group A?
The game counts toward NBA Cup East Group A. A confirmed result would affect the group standings, while the live score alone cannot establish the final standings or qualification picture. Milwaukee’s attempt to halt its losing streak and Orlando’s push to sustain its recent improvement were the central stakes entering the matchup. Any assessment of the next group-play implications should wait for the final score and official standings update.
NBA.com lists Kia Center in Orlando as the venue and a 7 p.m. Eastern tip on Friday, Nov. 13, 2026. Orlando observes Eastern Standard Time on that date (UTC−05:00), so the scheduled start was midnight UTC on Nov. 14. The timestamp above reflects the actual verification time for this article, not the game’s tip or a publication schedule.
