Cavaliers five-game win streak ends with 119-116 loss to Bucks; three takeaways

3. Double-digit scorers

As a product of getting beat in the transition game for most of the evening, the Cavs allowed the Bucks plenty of offensive opportunities that led to scoring diversity.

The Bucks had five players score in double-figures, (Giannis Antetokounmpo-27, Eric Bledsoe-26, Khris Middleton-18, Malcolm Brogdon-16, John Henson-15). Most teams are content to let Antetokounmpo score, (they don’t call him the Greek Freak for nothing) but if you fail to stop the rest of the team, it is lethal.

The Cavs’ lax defense was reminiscent of their early season struggles, and ultimately, it came back to bite them down the stretch.
