After Game 5: The Milwaukee Bucks hosted and topped the Orlando Magic 118-pts-104 to complete a 4-games-1 best-of-7 MLB/NBA/NHL playoff series 1434 victory. With the series 1434 win, the Milwaukee Bucks improve their best-of-7 NBA playoff series record to 14-24 overall and 2-8 in the Preliminary round. With the series 1434 loss, the Orlando Magic see their best-of-7 NBA playoff series record fall to 9-11 (with an active five-series losing streak) overall and 3-6 (with an active four-Preliminary round losing streak) in the Preliminary round. The win order for the victorious Milwaukee Bucks in series 1434 was LWWWW: Series 1434 thus becomes the sixth NBA Preliminary-round series, the 23rd NBA series (all rounds), and the 67th MLB/NBA/NHL series (all rounds) to follow that win order to completion.

After Game 4: The Milwaukee Bucks visited and defeated the Orlando Magic 121-pts-106 to take a best-of-7 MLB/NBA/NHL playoff series 1434 lead of 3-games-1. When leading a best-of-7 MLB/NBA/NHL playoff series 3-games-1, the Milwaukee Bucks have a series record of 6-0 and a Game 5 record of 6-0. When trailing a best-of-7 MLB/NBA/NHL playoff series 3-games-1, the Orlando Magic have a series record of 0-6 and a Game 5 record of 2-4.

After Game 3: The Milwaukee Bucks visited and defeated the Orlando Magic 121-pts-107 to take a best-of-7 MLB/NBA/NHL playoff series 1434 lead of 2-games-1.

When trailing a best-of-7 MLB/NBA/NHL playoff series 2-games-1, the Orlando Magic have a series record of 1-5 (with an active four-series losing streak) and a Game 4 record of 1-5 (with an active four-Game 4 losing streak). In all six best-of-7 NBA playoff series in which the Orlando Magic trailed 2-games-1, the Game 4 outcome for the Magic presaged their series outcome (one win; five losses).
