But Friday at home vs. Magic is fairly large. Bulls follow with at home vs. Celtics and at Bucks before starting 5-game Western Conference trip. And OKC is playing well. – 10:29 PM Joe Gabriele @CavsJoeG#Cavs cut into Bucks’ 20-point edge midway through 4Q, but can’t complete comeback, drop 5th straight, 113-98; Brook Lopez leads everyone w/29pts, 7-9 3ptFG; bench scoring: MIL, 45, CLE, 20; reb: MIL, 52, CLE, 34. pic.twitter.com/NYS0VSZ3wf – 10:27 PM Jamal Collier @JamalCollierBucks pick up a 113-98 victory over the Cavs despite missing five rotation players (Holiday, Middleton, Connaughton, Allen and Matthews)Brook Lopez 29pts, 5 rebs. Giannis 16-12-8 – 10:21 PM Eric Nehm @eric_nehmFINAL: Bucks 113, Cavaliers 96– Lopez 29pts/5reb– Nwora 21pts/3reb– Antetokounmpo 16pts/12reb/8ast– Carter 11pts/4reb/8ast– Portis 10pts/11reb/2ast – 10:19 PM Eric Nehm @eric_nehmSolid minutes from Jordan Nwora here in the fourth quarter. He’s up to 16 points tonight.Hit the 3 on a nice drive and replace from Carter. Just made a nice deflection hustle play on the defensive end and followed it up with a good cut for two free throws on the offensive end. – 10:10 PM Jim Owczarski @JimOwczarskiBrook Lopez – league-leading shot blocker – bellowed as Jordan Nwora took that away from Lamar Stevens on the break. #Bucks have blocked six shots tonight. – 10:09 PM Jim Owczarski @JimOwczarskiMarJon Beauchamp has had a tough night with Donovan Mitchell and Darius Garland — but really, most are going to have that issue with that pair. #Bucks lead 100-91 with 7:13 to go in regulation. – 10:02 PM Eric Nehm @eric_nehmStill work to do for the Bucks tonight.They lead, 100-91, with 7:13 left, but the Cavaliers continue to chip away at this thing. – 10:01 PM Eric Nehm @eric_nehmBucks need to find their rhythm on offense again. Cavaliers have cut their lead to ten, 97-87, with 8:46 left. – 9:59 PM Sam Quinn @SamQuinnCBSI wonder what’s the longest gap between a first All-Star appearance and a second.Because Brook Lopez made his first All-Star team in 2013 and is making a really strong case to make his second in 2023. Can’t imagine there’s ever been a 10-year gap. – 9:55 PM Eric Nehm @eric_nehmAfter three quarters, the Bucks lead, 95-78.Brook Lopez leading the way with 29 points on 10-of-12 shooting, including 7-of-8 3-pt shooting.And Giannis Antetokounmpo is flirting with a triple-double with 16pts/9reb/8ast. – 9:49 PM Eric Nehm @eric_nehmThe Bucks are cooking now. Haven’t seen something like this in a while.Carter with the block and it leads to a Nwora slam on the alley-oop from Hill.Bucks up, 91-73, with 1:30 left in the third quarter. – 9:45 PM Sam Quinn @SamQuinnCBSI think Brook Lopez has been the Defensive Player of the Year so far this season, and if you disagree, please watch the third quarter of this Bucks-Cavs game. This is just an absolute clinic. – 9:37 PM Sam Quinn @SamQuinnCBSThere was a bit of luck involved, but Brook Lopez just had one of the better three-possession defensive stretches I’ve seen all season. – 9:34 PM Chris Fedor @ChrisFedor#Cavs building a wall to keep Giannis out of the paint. He has just 10 points and 8 shot attempts near the start of the third quarter. BUT it’s creating opportunities for other guys. Splash Mountain is now 6-7 from 3 and he’s pouring them in from Kenosha. – 9:33 PM Jim Owczarski @JimOwczarskiThe #Bucks starters have gotten involved to start the second half – and now Milwaukee leads Cleveland 73-63, their largest margin of the game thus far. – 9:30 PM Sam Quinn @SamQuinnCBSNice to see some late-game redemption for Lu Dort with that tip after the foul on Brook Lopez cost OKC the Bucks game. – 9:27 PM Eric Nehm @eric_nehmMan, I hope Jonny Mac is watching tonight because that flash from Bobby Portis to the pop-up zone was elite. – 9:27 PM Rod Boone @rodbooneFinal: Pacers 125, #Hornets 113LaMelo 26 pts, 6 astPJ Washington 24 pts, 4 rebs, 4 astKelly Oubre 17 pts, 13 rebsUp next: at Cleveland on Friday – 9:26 PM Joe Gabriele @CavsJoeGGood one cooking in Milwaukee – five ties, five lead-changes – Bucks up at the break, 61-60; MIL bench, 28pts, CLE, 7; CLE, 52%FG, 50% 3ptFG: Mitchell, 18pts, 6-10FG, 2-5 3ptFG, 2asst, 2stl; Garland, 15pts, 4-7 3ptFG, 5asst; Mobley, 12pts, 5-10FG, 2reb, Stevens, 5pts, 2blk. pic.twitter.com/6avKkQEGze – 9:21 PM Danny Cunningham @RealDCunningham#Cavs trail the Bucks 61-60 at the half. Mitchell has 18, Garland has 15, and Mobley has 12. They’ve done a good job on Antetokounmpo defensively, but the Bucks have made nine 3-pointers and have 14 2nd chance points. – 9:11 PM Chris Fedor @ChrisFedor#Cavs trio of Darius Garland (15), Donovan Mitchell (18) and Evan Mobley (12) scored 45 of team’s 60 first-half points. We go into the break with the Bucks somehow leading by one in a game Cavs were ahead for 19 of the 24 minutes. – 9:10 PM Eric Nehm @eric_nehmHalf: Bucks 61, Cavaliers 60– Lopez 18pts/2reb– Nwora 10pts/2reb– Ibaka 7pts/3reb– Antetokounmpo 6pts/5reb/7ast– Carter 6pts/2reb/3ast – 9:09 PM Eric Nehm @eric_nehmBucks are really getting after it on the offensive glass tonight and keeping themselves that way here in the second quarter.But the Cavaliers are still up, 54-53, with 2:57 left in the first half. – 9:01 PM Eric Nehm @eric_nehmCavaliers up, 49-44, with 6:49 left in the second quarter.Serge Ibaka with a few nice moments off the bench and 7 points. AJ Green with his first 3 as well. – 8:51 PM Jim Owczarski @JimOwczarskiOn a night when the #Bucks are making shots – 50% from the floor and 42.1% from behind the three-point line…the #Cavs are making 60/50. Cleveland leads 49-44 early in the second quarter. – 8:50 PM Danny Cunningham @RealDCunningham#Cavs lead the Bucks after 1q 37-34. Donovan Mitchell with 16 points already and Darius Garland has 7 points and 4 assists. Milwaukee has knocked down 7 3-pointers already. – 8:39 PM Eric Nehm @eric_nehmAfter one quarter, the Cavaliers lead, 37-34.Brook Lopez (11 pts) and Jordan Nwora (10 pts) are the leading scorers for the Bucks thus far. – 8:37 PM Jim Owczarski @JimOwczarskiThe Bobby Portis-George Hill-Jordan Nwora-Serge Ibaka-AJ Green lineup came in with 2:32 left in the first quarter for the #Bucks down 4.They disperse w/ 8.9 seconds left down two. – 8:35 PM Chris Fedor @ChrisFedorRobin Lopez checks in right as brother Brook goes to the bench, as Mike Budenholzer robs us all of the brother-brother matchup we came here to see. – 8:32 PM Danny Cunningham @RealDCunninghamIt’s hard to judge how the #Cavs are defensively tonight. Obviously Allen is a big deal every night, but I think it’s especially big for how they matchup against Milwaukee. – 8:27 PM Chris Fedor @ChrisFedorWelcome back, Donovan Mitchell.He has 12 points on 5 of 6 shooting and 2 of 3 from 3-point range in the first eight minutes. – 8:27 PM Eric Nehm @eric_nehmBrook Lopez is 3-for-3 from 3 to start the game and his 11 points have helped the Bucks get back into this game.Cavaliers still up, 27-23, with 3:57 left in the first quarter though. – 8:27 PM Eric Nehm @eric_nehmThese Cavaliers guards have really thrown some nifty passes in the pick-and-roll.Typically don’t see Lopez or Antetokounmpo get beat on passes outside of lobs in the drop. – 8:25 PM Chris Fedor @ChrisFedorWith 4 shot attempts in the first six-plus minutes of tonight’s game, #Cavs Evan Mobley has taken as many shots as he did all of Sunday against the Timberwolves. – 8:25 PM Eric Nehm @eric_nehmBucks down, 16-9, with 7:29 left in the first quarter.Three turnovers have kept them from keeping pace with the Cavaliers to start the game. Garland and Mitchell have put the Bucks’ drop bigs in tough spots as well. – 8:19 PM Chris Fedor @ChrisFedorAs anticipated, #Cavs Lamar Stevens was put into the starting lineup to deal with Giannis. Stevens gets the matchup early but as the players have been saying the last few days, it will be a team effort. – 8:13 PM Eric Nehm @eric_nehmAnother fun matchup for MarJon Beauchamp tonight.He starts on Donovan Mitchell, while Jevon Carter takes Darius Garland. – 8:13 PM Jim Owczarski @JimOwczarski#Bucks go big in the starting lineup tonight with so many in the backcourt hurt: Jevon Carter is joined by rookie MarJon Beauchamp to go with Bobby Portis, Giannis Antetokounmpo and Brook Lopez. – 7:36 PM Jamal Collier @JamalCollierStill no Pat Connaughton or Jrue Holiday tonight for the Bucks, per coach Mike BudenholzerGrayson Allen and Wes Matthews are also out – 6:26 PM Harrison Wind @HarrisonWindLeague Leaders in +/-1. Nikola Jokic +1122. Kevin Love +1033. Jrue Holiday +964. Devin Booker +945. Grayson Allen, Mikal Bridges +88 – 3:23 PM Kelsey Russo @kelseyyrusso#Cavs Dylan Windler will be out approx. 4-6 weeks after he recently received a platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injection to help treat his ankle, the team announced. He will be in a walking cast, and a therapy plan will be established to determine his next steps. – 2:10 PM Danny Cunningham @RealDCunningham#Cavs announce that Dylan Windler will be out the next 4-to-6 weeks after undergoing a PRP injection in his right ankle. Windler has been active for one game this season but did not play. He suffered the ankle sprain during training camp. – 2:09 PM
