Matthew Dellavedova’s Milwaukee Bucks stop Cleveland Cavaliers in National Basketball Association

We got our butts kicked (Tuesday) night.

What is going on? The Clippers started the game without Blake Griffin, ended it without their ejected coach Doc Rivers and dropped their third straight game by blowing an 18-point lead. He also finished with a career-best 14 rebounds against the Clippers (14-5), who have lost three straight and are 1-3 in this current road trip. They inbounded the ball. From there, it was a scramble and Chris Paul alone could not save Los Angeles.

The Cavs are now top of the Eastern Conference standings, while the Spurs and the Clippers are second and third respectively in the Western Conference, behind the Golden State Warriors (16-2). Los Angeles has looked slow and exhausted on the road of late, with dead legs.

NOTES: The Cavaliers extended their National Basketball Association record by making at least 10 3-pointers for the 16th consecutive game to start the season. But no fear, Smith has a comeback for his recent offensive woes, too (3-for-29 shooting in his last three games). It was an overreach in my book.

Dellavedova will play his former team for the first time on Tuesday.

It was also Orlando’s first win over San Antonio in 11 meetings dating back to 2010.

“We didn’t let them off the hook”.

Reporter: Can you take us through what happened with the play with Jason Terry? G Iman Shumpert, who missed Cleveland’s last game with a strained left hamstring, scored two points in 17 minutes at Milwaukee. The Bucks could possibly become a significant threat to the Cavs during the playoffs in the distant future, and tonight was an example of what makes them so unsafe. But who among us can convincingly argue that, by prioritizing friendship and choosing to move through life chasing his bliss come what may, J.R. Smith isn’t the greatest victor of all?

Redd played 11 seasons for the Bucks.

James led the Cavs with a team-high 22 points to go with four rebounds and four assists and Kyrie Irving added 20 points on 12 shots, but the Cavs normally high-powered offense stagnated after a 26-13 start and the Bucks shredded Cleveland’s interior defense with a 68-34 edge in paint points. And he’s doing it without the aid of a jump shot.

“We look at it from a standpoint that we never really lose, we just have lessons that we learn”, he said following practice. In fact, Jabari Parker, with 18 points, was the only other Bucks starter to score in double digits. Especially with how they’ve played lately. The guys know it, but they get bored with it at times. Hood finished with 19 points. Pair Conley and Marc Gasol on the court together the Grizzlies are a raw +81 this season, without them they are -88. James now has 16 turnovers in his past three games. But they’re getting there. Will some bench players step up?
