"This was a great team win tonight," said Harris. "We really got some good production from everyone and we hung in there down the stretch."
Ersan Ilyasova scored 18 points with eight rebounds and Khris Middleton gave 15 points for the Bucks, who had a two-game winning streak broken and remain in the sixth spot in the Eastern Conference.
"This was a tough loss," said Middleton. "We have to win these home games we have left if we want to make the playoffs."
Orlando trailed by four after Giannis Antetokounmpo put in a free throw with 3 1/2 minutes to play, but Gordon followed with a layup and Oladipo tied the game with a jumper.
After Zaza Pachulia missed a short jumper, Harris nailed a 3-pointer to give the Magic the lead.
Michael Carter-Williams then hit a jumper to cut Milwaukee's deficit to one, but Oladipo countered with another 3-pointer and later hit a jumper inside a minute to play for a six-point lead that held up.
