Tyler Herro voiced blunt frustration after the Milwaukee Bucks fell 107-99 to the Orlando Magic, extending a slide to nine consecutive losses on a road trip covered by Basketball King.
The defeat dropped Milwaukee’s record to 1–12, marking the franchise’s lowest 13-game opening stretch since the 1974–75 season, Basketball King reported. The team entered the campaign under a reconstructed roster following the summer trade of longtime franchise cornerstone Giannis Antetokounmpo to the Miami Heat.
“I’ve never lost this much in my life,” Herro said after a 123-112 loss to the Los Angeles Lakers, according to Basketball King. Our goal is to win.
The Bucks fell behind 52-37 by halftime against the Magic and faced a 20-point deficit during the third quarter. A late push narrowed the gap, but Milwaukee converted only 18 of 31 free throw attempts, sealing the 107-99 final score.
“First of all, you have to play a 48-minute complete game,” Jenkins said, according to Basketball King. “When you fall behind by double digits, it’s hard to climb back out.”
Jenkins addressed the team’s ongoing search for cohesion following the Lakers defeat, noting that the group is still establishing an identity. He credited the players for maintaining effort despite the results while emphasizing that statements must translate to performance on the floor.
Herro arrived in Milwaukee after seven seasons with the Miami Heat, where he earned Sixth Man of the Year honors in the 2021–22 season and an All-Star nod in the 2024–25 campaign alongside two NBA Finals appearances. Now in a new phase in Wisconsin, the guard finds himself adjusting to unfamiliar territory near the bottom of the standings.
