Antetokounmpo lifts Bucks past Cavs. MORE:
Milwaukee improved to an NBA-best 55-19. The Raptors were 51-22 entering Sunday's game at home against Charlotte.
The Bucks never trailed, jumping out to a 15-6 lead. Milwaukee led 68-55 at the half, but the Cavaliers pulled within 82-73 onHill's jumper from just inside the arc in the closing seconds put Milwaukee up 90-77 entering the fourth quarter. Milwaukee lost at Cleveland on Wednesday, 107-102, without Antetokounmpo, when the Bucks used only eight players due to other injuries.Cavaliers: Coach Larry Drew was head coach of the Bucks for one season, 2013-14, when Antetokounmpo was a 19-year-old rookie. Drew called Antetokounmpo one of the top five players in the game."I always thought that he could get to that point, because you could see he was a hard worker and he really wanted it," Drew said.
Bucks: Coach Mike Budenholzer said Antetokounmpo's health was more important than playoff positioning."We are dealing with his ankle, and as we have said, if we can have the first seed, that'd be great, but it's not the priority."
