The Cleveland Cavaliers put on their sharpest display on Friday when they defeated the Milwaukee Bucks with 124-101. The Bucks still had the taste of their NBA Cup victory in Las Vegas just a few days earlier but fell short on claiming the win against the dominant team. Cleveland's defense, especially toward Giannis Antetokounmpo, contributed to their success. While Antetokounmpo racked up a total of 33 points against them, the frontcourt trio of Dean Wade, Evan Mobley, and Jarrett Allen made Antetokounmpo work for every single basket he made against them. The pressure also kept Bucks to only 23 three-point attempts even though they had pulled their starters early in the fourth quarter.
No less than that, the Cavs' shooting was the game-changer in the game. They managed to shoot 48.7% from three-point range, finishing at 19-39 three-pointers. Leading from the front was Donovan Mitchell, who had 27 points and 6 assists, all in 27 minutes. With 16 points and 5 assists to boot, Darius Garland also pitched in. Left with 15 points to show for his night's work as well as a blemished defensive effort against Antetokounmpo was Mobley. Dean Wade added 15 points.
