Cleveland Cavaliers 114-113 victory over the Milwaukee Bucks

Donovan Mitchell’s clutch performance led the Cleveland Cavaliers to a thrilling 114-113 win over the Milwaukee Bucks, keeping their perfect 7-0 start intact. Mitchell scored 30 points, including a decisive jumper with just 0.3 seconds left, positioning Cleveland one win away from tying their best franchise start set in 1976-77.

The Bucks, who have now dropped five straight games since their season opener, saw Damian Lillard shine with 41 points and nine assists, hitting 10 of 15 from beyond the arc. Lillard’s step-back jumper had given Milwaukee a lead with 9.8 seconds remaining, but it wasn't enough. Giannis Antetokounmpo added 34 points, 16 rebounds, and nine assists in a losing effort. Cleveland managed the win despite missing Caris LeVert, while the Bucks played without Khris Middleton, still recovering from ankle surgery. This victory marked Cleveland's resilience, as they played back-to-back games, coming off a win over Orlando.
