Bucks end Cavaliers’ winning streak with victory in second overtime

The Cavs couldn’t pull away this time, but made enough plays at the finish and held Anthony to 1-for-9 shooting in the second half.

ABOUT THE BUCKS (4-5): Milwaukee hopes to have point guard Michael Carter-Williams back from an ankle injury that has robbed him of the last five games. “It’s just a matter of us figuring it out and pulling these games out and executing down the stretch and making things happen”.

Cavs expected starting lineup: Williams, J.R. Smith, James, Love and Timofey Mozgov.

We saw a Greg Monroe/John Henson front-court.

So, Blatt throws Davis under the bus there, and that’s fine; again, it’s Davis’ job to be aware of who is calling the timeout.

The Bucks had a shot to win it at the buzzer, but Bayless’ jumper over Dellavedova clanked off the rim to force overtime.

“They [were] kind of relaxed, and I was headed up the left side of the floor with a head of steam”, James said.

The loss was the 76ers’ 10th straight to open their season and 20th overall dating back to last season. The guard is averaging 16.9 per contest while big man Kevin Love trails him by half a point.

“I have confidence in what I need to do”, Parker said. “What else can I add to that?”

It is the second timeout controversy at the end of a game in the past two seasons for the Cavs. However, Faried jumped up in the lane to snatch the ball legally and put it back in with five seconds remaining for the game victor.

Highlights of their double-overtime victory over the Cleveland Cavaliers Saturday were playing over the TVs mounted throughout their dressing room, and six or seven of the Bucks stopped what they were doing – dressing, talking, lotionizing, texting – to watch.

“The plan was expecting they would probably relax a little bit; we had chose to push it and we didn’t get that chance, unfortunately”, Blatt said. “We’re going to make our mark defensively, and that should be our staple every game”.

Arron Afflalo had 14 points for the Knicks.

Sacramento Kings 111, Brooklyn Nets 109: DeMarcus Cousins had 30 of his season-high 40 points in the second half along with 13 rebounds, Rajon Rondo had 23 points, 14 assists and 10 rebounds for his third triple-double of the season, helping the Kings (3-7) clip the visiting Nets.

If Cleveland won Saturday, the 9-1 record through 10 games would have tied for the best start in franchise history. The team offense didn’t improve much in the final period, but James and Mo Williams showed up, as they combined to score 21 of Cleveland’s 24 points in the fourth. Before we get to covering that game, let’s take a look at a few takeaways from the heartbreaking loss to the Cavaliers Friday night.

“You kind of have that hope in your mind that it gets well quicker, but for this to be seven or eight (weeks) out and still the same way, I can’t do nothing but live with it. It’s nearly a one-to-one ratio as far as assists to turnovers, and that’s not good for our team”.

The Cavaliers, alone in first place in the National Basketball Association Central Division, are dead serious about putting the brakes on their one-game losing streak. I made an inadvertent whistle, which allowed the offensive team to call a timeout, and, in fact, they wanted a timeout and asked for a timeout.
