LOS ANGELES – Giannis Antetokounmpo tallied 26 points and 10 rebounds as the NBA-leading Milwaukee Bucks avenged a loss to Cleveland earlier in the week by beating the Cavaliers, 127-105, on Monday (Tuesday Manila time). Antetokounmpo missed two of the three previous games with an ankle injury and did not play four days ago when the Cavaliers beat the Bucks, 107-102. George Hill, who was traded to the Bucks by the Cavaliers in December, and Khris Middleton scored 17 points each, and Brook Lopez scored all 14 of his points in the first half for Milwaukee. They led 68-55 at the half, going wire to wire for the win. New York must win at least three of their eight remaining games to avoid tying or exceeding the worst record (17-65) in team history.
