Bucks rose to victory over Cavs without Antetokounmpo

Milwaukee Bucks were lacking depth without two-time MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo, who was injured during the night Bucks lost to Jazz, but managed a comeback to defeat Cleveland Cavaliers in a 100-90 thumping at Fiserv Forum. Bucks coach Mike Budenholzer believes the star would be back to his form shortly to slay Bucks enemies. Taking his place in the lineup Bobby Portis dished out 17 points.

Bucks are currently 6-4 in the series while Cavs are going 5-5 so far in the season. Cavs Andre Drummond did put up a good fight with 26 points and 24 rebounds, but without other big men to support Cavs came up short on Saturday night. Despite being short-handed they did make a comeback after Bucks were leading by 19 in the second quarter to force a 37-37 but Middleton went on a rage to add eight points straight to ensure Bucks were leading by the time the first half ended.
