Cavs Know Bucks Will Be a Dangerous Playoff Opponent
CLEVELAND — The Milwaukee Bucks didn’t say a lot, but they didn’t have to. The final stats from the Bucks‘ 101-98 loss to Cleveland said plenty.
In the game, the Cavs shot 45 free throws, the Bucks nine. It was a disparity that almost seems impossible.
But despite that disparity — which is unheard of in most NBA games — the Bucks still were able to wipe out a 10-point third-quarter deficit, still were able to lead the Cavs in the final minutes and still were able to take the team with the league’s best record to the final seconds.
Impressive? Yes. Something to build on? Not for these Bucks, who came to Quicken Loans Arena having won seven-of-10 games.
“We should have won that game,” Bucks coach Scott Skiles said. “We gave them that game.”
