The Milwaukee Bucks defeated the visiting Cleveland Cavaliers, 127-105, at Fiserv Forum on Sunday.

Milwaukee came into this game as a sizable favorite and a wire-to-wire win here shows just why. In fact, Milwaukee either won or tied all four individual quarters, as a 68-55 first half was too much for Cleveland to overcome. Rim protection was key for the Bucks, as they won the defensive rebounding battle, 41-32, while out-blocking the Cavaliers, 7-1. Milwaukee ended up shooting 55 percent from the field while holding Cleveland to just 43 percent shooting.

The Cavaliers (19-55) were led by Kevin Love, as he tallied 20 points, 19 rebounds and three assists. Collin Sexton totaled 18 points and five rebounds. Larry Nance Jr. started and accumulated 13 points, three rebounds, six assists and three steals. Jordan Clarkson led the bench with 19 points, three rebounds and four assists.

The Bucks (55-19) were led by Giannis Antetokounmpo, as he collected 26 points, 10 rebounds, seven assists and four blocks. Khris Middleton accrued 17 points, five rebounds, three assists and two steals. Eric Bledsoe amassed 12 points, five rebounds, seven assists and two steals while George Hill led the bench with 17 points.

Both teams return to action on Tuesday, with Cleveland playing host to the Boston Celtics and Milwaukee welcoming the Houston Rockets to Fiserv Forum.
