Thanks to a gargantuan third quarter, the Bucks took it to the Cavs on Friday night at Fiserv Forum for their second victory over Cleveland in nine days. Giannis Antetokounmpo poured in a game-high 38, while Donovan Mitchell was the high man for the visitors with 29.
The Bucks came in pretty lifeless offensively, struggling with Cleveland’s length in the paint even after Jarrett Allen exited early with two quick fouls. Giannis found himself at the charity stripe a whopping eight times before the quarter ended, but the Bucks were still behind 30-25 after the first, though Jevon Carter tightened that up with a buzzer-beating triple.
