MILWAUKEE (AP) — Donovan Mitchell scored 32 points and Jarrett Allen had 24 points and 14 rebounds as the Cavaliers beat the Milwaukee Bucks 112-100 on Friday for their ninth win in 10 games.
Giannis Antetokounmpo had 22 points, 11 rebounds and nine assists for the Bucks to end his string of two straight triple-doubles.
The Cavaliers gained a measure of revenge after their eight-game winning streak had ended with a 126-116 loss at Milwaukee on Wednesday.
That came one night after Milwaukee fired coach Adrian Griffin. The Bucks announced in the final minute of Friday’s game they had hired Doc Rivers as Griffin’s replacement.
