The Cavaliers avenged an early-season loss to the Bucks, but the win didn’t come easily. The two teams played each other tight through regulation, ultimately needing overtime to decide the outcome. Although the Bucks stand at a deplorable 5-21 now, they managed to play the Cavaliers close, never allowing them to pull away. The Cavaliers went 39-for-100 from the field, but made up for the poor shooting by going 25-for-27 from the free throw line. Kyrie Irving led the Cavs with 39 points on 13-of-25 shooting, also adding six assists. Tristan Thompson posted a double-double with 10 points and 15 rebounds.
