Antetokounmpo scores 24 as Bucks bury Cavaliers, 124-99
CLEVELAND, OH (AP) — Giannis Antetokounmpo had 24 points and 11 rebounds, Jrue Holiday scored 20 and the Milwaukee Bucks beat the Cleveland Cavaliers for the second time in two days, 124-99 on Saturday night.
Khris Middleton added 20 points and Bryn Forbes had 18 on 6-of-6 shooting from 3-point territory for the Bucks, who broke open the game with a 42-18 run spanning the third and fourth quarters and won their fourth in a row.
“We pushed it to the limit and had a lot of baskets in transition, which makes it hard for teams that are trying to come back,” Holiday said. “It’s all good. We’re building that confidence and trust with each other. It’s about hard work, playing hard and playing smart.”
