The Cleveland Cavaliers topped the Milwaukee Bucks, 115-99, at Rocket Mortgage Fieldhouse on Wednesday night.

The hosts were especially impressive from long distance, draining a total of 19 three-pointers.

Giannis Antetokounmpo led the Bucks with 26 points, adding nine rebounds, three assists and one steal. Bobby Portis supplied 22 points, seven rebounds, one assist and one block. Khris Middleton furnished 21 points, four rebounds, four assists and one steal. Patrick Connaughton totaled 11 points, five boards and one assist.

Kevin Love paced the Cavaliers with 25 points, complementing them with nine rebounds, two assists and two steals. Cedi Osman registered 23 points, four assists, three rebounds and two steals. Darius Garland managed 19 points, eight assists, two rebounds and one steal. Evan Mobley delivered 16 points, seven boards, one assist and two blocks. Jarrett Allen generated a 10-point, 10-rebound double-double that included one assist and one steal.

The Bucks return home to host the New York Knicks on Friday night, while the Cavaliers hit the road and visit the Detroit Pistons on Sunday evening.
