Bucks overcome James’ season-high 37 to win in double OT

The attack was the second deadliest on a Western city since 9/11.

The Cleveland Cavaliers rank 15th in offensive rebounding, while the NY Knicks rank 16th in defensive rebounding. And even the losses to Cleveland (twice), Milwaukee, Atlanta, San Antonio and Charlotte have been games that could have gone either way.

James was almost as good in the first overtime Saturday as he was in the fourth quarter, delivering a three-pointer and quick layup off a drive to tie the game twice with less than 90 seconds left. He shot 5-for-6 and scored 14 points in the first quarter.

The Cavs played from behind most of the night and led for just 24 seconds after halftime. Khris Middleton answered James’ three to open the second overtime, and Greivis Vasquez buried a huge three to extend the Bucks’ lead to 106-102 with 1:53 left.

James Harden had 25 points for the Rockets, but he went five-of-21 from the field at the Toyota Center. There was very little ball movement, just a lot of standing around…

The Cavaliers also committed 21 turnovers, which Milwaukee turned into 26 points. When Irving comes back, there will be less pressure on LeBron James to perform since Irving is also a point scorer, and one of the league’s top small men.

NY finished the third quarter on a 6-0 run to enter the final period with a 72-66 lead.

The Bucks squandered an 11-point lead over the final six-plus minutes of the fourth quarter. “It was a good game for us”.

James boasted 37 points, five assists and 12 rebounds, but was held scoreless over the final 3:15 of the second overtime as the Cavs’ eight-game winning streak was snapped.

Carmelo Anthony and the NY Knicks drop another tough one, this time (for the second time) to LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers. The Cavaliers won the first game 96-86.

The game was tighter than the six-point margin suggested, with Mo Williams only putting the Cavaliers ahead with his jump shot with 41 seconds left. This has helped with the spacing issue the Bucks had last season and has given Antetokounmpo more opportunities to score.

After a pair of Williams free-throws, Fisher threw up another great play out of a time out but unfortunately NY could not complete it. Porzingis missed on an ally-opp connection that that could have put the Knicks within one possession, most due to a poor inbound pass.

As the Cavaliers prepared for their morning shootaround, a worker removed DraftKings signage from the court, believing it was a national TV game – the NBA has a deal with rival daily fantasy site FanDuel.

Despite Love and LeBron getting theirs for over 60 combined points, the Cavaliers still weren’t able to beat Milwaukee at home. The streaky veteran has 49 points on 15-of-22 shooting in the last two games and owns a 49 percent mark from the floor, which would represent the best mark of his 12-year career if he can keep it up. In particular missing the potential game tying shot.
