NBA Round Up: Cavs Topple Bucks for Fourth Straight Win
**Jarrett Allen, Donovan Mitchell Lead the Charge in Cleveland's Triumph
Cleveland Cavaliers 112, Milwaukee Bucks 100
The Cleveland Cavaliers continued their impressive run on Friday night, defeating the Milwaukee Bucks 112-100 at the Fiserv Forum. This marks the Cavs' fourth consecutive victory, propelling them to a 16-10 record this season.
Leading the charge for the Cavs was All-Star guard Donovan Mitchell, who poured in 32 points on 12-of-22 shooting. Mitchell was relentless in attacking the paint, finishing with seven free throw attempts. Center Jarrett Allen provided a dominant presence on both ends of the court, posting a double-double of 24 points and 14 rebounds. His physicality inside the paint made it difficult for the Bucks to find consistent scoring opportunities.
The Bucks struggled to keep pace with the Cavs' offensive production. Two-time MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo led Milwaukee with 29 points, but he shot just 9-of-22 from the field. Jrue Holiday added 18 points, but the Bucks' bench failed to provide much support, scoring only 22 points combined.
The Cavs took control of the game in the third quarter, outscoring the Bucks 36-20. Mitchell scored 10 points in the period, while Allen asserted his dominance in the paint. The Bucks were unable to recover from that decisive quarter, and the Cavs cruised to a comfortable victory in the fourth.
With this victory, the Cavaliers have now won six of their last eight games. They currently sit in fourth place in the Eastern Conference standings, trailing the Philadelphia 76ers, Milwaukee Bucks, and Boston Celtics. The Cavs will look to continue their winning ways on Sunday when they host the Chicago Bulls at the Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse.
