Cleveland: Matthew Dellavedova’s Cleveland have fallen to his former side Milwaukee as a rampaging Giannis Antetokounmpo matched his NBA career high of 44 points on the way to the Bucks’ 114-102 win.
Antetokounmpo’s big Friday night came after being held to a season-low 12 points on Wednesday in a loss to Indiana. He was 14 of 19 from the field, made 16 of 21 foul shots and had 14 rebounds and eight assists.
The Bucks never trailed and held off a late Cleveland spurt. The Cavaliers cut the lead to five midway through the fourth quarter on Cedi Osman’s three-pointer but Antetokounmpo had a three-point play and an assist on Brook Lopez’s basket that beat the shot clock, pushing the lead to 111-99.
Australian guard Dellavedova scored 10 points off the bench for the Cavaliers against his former side after being traded from Milwaukee for George Hill last week.
Brook Lopez scored 19 points and Eric Bledsoe had 16 for the Bucks.
