MILWAUKEE -- For about a three-minute stretch of the second half, Milwaukees Brandon Knight just could not be stopped. A quick first step to get to the hoop for a layup. A rousing dunk on the break off a high outlet pass saved by teammate Ramon Sessions. A back-breaking 3 from the wing. Knight scored 11 straight points during a stretch between the third and fourth quarters to help the Bucks erase an 18-point deficit and defeat the Orlando Magic 105-98 on Monday night. The Bucks fed off their lead guard once Knight got going. "He was attacking, finishing, finding guys and making plays for us," said Khris Middleton, who added 21 points and three crucial 3s in the fourth quarter. Maurice Harkless had 14 points to lead seven players in double figures Orlando, which got guard Victor Oladipo back after the rookie missed two games with left ankle soreness. Oladipo finished with 12 on 5-of-6 shooting off the bench. The Magic just had no answer for Knight. "I thought his aggression as far as attacking the basket was a huge plus," coach Larry Drew said. A game between two of the worst teams in the league -- the Bucks and Magic had combined for 95 losses coming into the night -- turned into an entertaining affair down the stretch that saw the Bucks snap a three-game skid. Several times early in the contest, it looked as though the Magic would hold on for their fifth road victory of the year. But the stretch run belonged to Knight, who had an emphatic answer to start the fourth quarter to answer two buckets by Oladipo that ended the third. "NBA games are extremely long and an 18-point lead in the first half doesnt mean a lot," Orlando coach Jacque Vaughn said. Knight nearly singlehandedly blew past Orlando to start the fourth. A layup with 11:21 left gave Milwaukee a 72-71 lead, its first advantage since the quarter. Then came Knights dunk. Rookie Giannis Antetokounmpo threw a high pass downcourt back to Sessions, who jumped with one arm outstretched and got the ball to the streaking Knight for the throwdown. After another missed Magic shot, Knight hurt Orlando again with a 3 from the wing for a 77-71 lead with 10:30 left. "Its real frustrating. We were playing basketball the right way. But we stopped playing team ball," said Tobias Harris, who scored all 11 of his points during a 13-0 run in the first half that allowed the Magic to build a 31-13 lead. Knights hustling play was in stark contrast to a lethargic Bucks squad that couldnt hit shots and appeared to be just standing around the hoop defensively during Orlandos early spurt. "I just wanted to come out and be aggressive, come out and be strong and attack the basket," Knight said. "We were able to get out and get a lot of easy baskets, so that got us in a good rhythm and we were able to steamroll from there. Not quite, even if Middleton added three fourth-quarter 3s to help the Bucks build its own double-digit lead. The lead swelled to 95-81 with 2:49 left before Orlando mounted its own late charge to get within three off a 3 from Jameer Nelson with 35 seconds left. But the Bucks hit their foul shots late and Orlando was hurt after Nikola Vucevic was whistled for an offensive foul with 22 seconds left. Nelson finished with 13. Sessions had 16 points and eight assists and went 6 of 6 from the line. Sessions combined with Knight to effectively lead the Bucks up-tempo attack in the second half. Even Oladipos return couldnt help Orlando. The rookie said after the game he wasnt working out or shooting for about a week because of his sore foot, so Vaughn eased Oladipo back into the rotation Monday. "I felt like I was kind of slow with my reaction time because I havent played in a while. Still no excuse," Oladipo said. "I feel like I let my team down a little bit today but Ive just got to keep growing and getting better." NOTES: The Magic fell to a league-worst 4-30 on the road. ... Vucevic finished with a double-double off 12 points and 12 rebounds. ... Knight extended his career-best streak of scoring in double-digits to 18 straight games. ...

Jansrud was second, 0.52 seconds behind, and technical specialist Alexis Pinturault of France finished third.We have a nice relationship, that slope and me, Reichelt said.Reichelt is quickly getting up to speed after surgery to fix a herniated disk in his back last January knocked him out of the Sochi Olympics. He is pain-free again.Skiing fast again, too. Especially on this course. Dustin Cook of Whistler, B.C., was 12th (1:13.93), Calgarys Jan Hudec finished 14th (1:13.99) and Morgan Pridy of Whistler, was 16th (1:14.03).Hudec is ninth in the World Cup super G standings with 47 points.The 34-year-old Reichelt earned his first World Cup win at Beaver Creek in 2005 and has been on the podium six times at this venue.There are so many bumps and so many times when you dont see the next gate, he said. So its really tough and you always have to ski great, and with (using) your brain. You have to know when to risk in the right part.He already is looking forward to the world championships on this course in February. He certainly will be one of the favourites in the super-G.This was a great step on the way to the championships, Reichelt said.For as splendid of run as Reichelt turned in, he still had to hold his breath when Jansrud took the course.I was really scared, because hes really at another level, Reichelt said.Jansruds definitely the skier to beat whenever he steps into the start gate for a speed event. He won two races last weekend in Lake Louise, Alberta, and a downhill Friday at Beaver Creek in which he skied a near-perfect run.This time, though, Jansrud made a big miscalculation. He struggled with a gate near tthe bottom of the course and got bounced around.dddddddddddd Somehow, he managed not only to stay on course, but maintain his speed.Still, his streak was snapped. Not that he was bemoaning his runner-up spot.The day I get disappointed for second place is the day you turn into an arrogant guy, said Jansrud, who vowed to hold off cutting his long hair given his recent success. So thats not going to happen. I was disappointing coming into the finish, more for the mistake. I knew I (messed) up a little bit.Thats how ski racing is. Some days you win, some you dont. Second place with such a mistake is pretty good.Andrew Weibrecht was the top American; the skier nicknamed War Horse wound up 10th. He said he gained confidence after a solid 30th-place finish the day before in the downhill.The downhill was huge for me, excited about that just to be in the points, said Weibrecht, who won silver in the super-G at the Sochi Olympics, finishing behind Jansrud. I looked it up yesterday, and it was 1,777 days since I (last) scored a downhill point.Ted Ligety was 11th — bad wrist and all. The two-time Olympic gold medallist had four metal screws inserted into his wrist as a result of a skiing mishap in a training session on Nov 22. But he hasnt given the injury a second thought.The wrist is not an issue, Ligety said.The course layout? Now thats a different story.The start was really daunting and intimidating. But you cant let that get to you, Ligety said. Skied way, way too conservative up top. It looks hairy and gnarly and its actually pretty easy if youre a good technical skier.Which, of course, Ligety is. Same with Pinturault, who really hasnt worked on his speed that much but still found a fast line.Although, he did appear to smack his shoulder on a gate. Didnt slow him down, though.Thats skiing, sometimes you dont control everything, he said. I tried to stay focused.The Birds of Prey competition concludes Sunday with a giant slalom, which is Ligetys specialty.Its always fun to ski a GS here, Ligety said. Its an awesome hill.
