The Cleveland Cavaliers are untouchable right now. They have been crushing every team they cross paths with, the latest being Giannis Antetokounmpo and the Milwaukee Bucks. The Cavs took Milwaukee down in a 112-100 win at home on Sunday, extending Cleveland’s win streak to 14 games. It was also the Cavaliers’ 54th win of the season against just 10 losses.
Additionally, that victory over the Bucks gave Cleveland its first regular-season sweep of the Bucks since the 2008-09 season when LeBron James was still sitting on his throne in Cleveland.
Via Cavs Notes:
With tonight’s win, the @cavs swept the 4-game regular season series vs. the Bucks for the first time since 2008-09.
The Cleveland Cavaliers found a way to beat Milwaukee despite uncharacteristic struggles on offense
Even when they did not shoot well from the floor, the Cavaliers managed to impress in the win against Milwaukee. Cleveland recorded just a 44.3 field goal percentage in that contest, and no Cav had more than 17 points. But their defense came through as well as their depth.
The Cavaliers held the Bucks to only 42.9 percent shooting from the field and got at least two five points from 10 of the 14 players who entered the floor. All starters scored in double digits, led by Max Strus, who had 17, while Dean Wade, Ty Jerome and Sam Merrill each scored nine points off the bench.
Over their last 14 games, the Cavs were tops in the league with a 123.3 offensive rating and fourth with a 109.3 defensive rating.
