Milwaukee didn’t bomb Cleveland out from beyond the arc – as they had against their last two opponents. Instead, they gave the Cavs a taste of their own medicine.
The Bucks drilled 21 triples in each of their last two games, but cooled off against Cleveland. Instead, the Bucks scored 74 points in the paint and outmuscled the Wine & Gold on the boards, 54-36, pulling away late to take the 123-105 decision on Friday night at Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse.
The Cavaliers came in as the East’s second-best team at scoring in the paint and boast the league’s top rebounder.
