After two subpar performances to start the Summer League session, the Wine and Gold went on a late-game rampage to earn their first victory in Vegas – closing the game on a furious 28-7 run after trailing Milwaukee by 21 with just 5:17 to play. After stunning the Bucks in regulation, Cleveland did all the scoring in the extra-session, taking the 94-87 win on Monday afternoon at Cox Pavilion.
After notching just 15 points in the first quarter and 14 in the third, the Cavaliers scored 44 in the fourth quarter and two-minute overtime period. The win gives Cleveland a 1-2 mark in the preliminary round, with tournament play tipping off on Wednesday.
