The Milwaukee Bucks (5 - 5) defeated the Cleveland Cavaliers (8 - 2) 108 - 105 in double - overtime thriller on Saturday. The final tally doesn’t represent how much of a defensive struggle this was between two defensive - centric teams. The Cavaliers committed a season - high 21 turnovers and that very well may have been the difference in a close game. Both teams struggled shooting the ball, as they both barely shot above 40 percent from the field and hovered around 70 percent from the free - throw line. This was a hard - fought defensive game that was 88 - 88 going into the first overtime. The Cavaliers were on the second half of a back - to - back and left it all on the floor on Saturday. The tired legs were evident though, as they set a season - high in turnovers and missed 24 three - point shots. They were led by LeBron James who put together a ridiculous line. King James tallied 37 points, 12 rebounds, five assists and three blocks in the loss. Kevin Love also had another strong double - double, as he recorded 24 points and 14 boards in the defeat. This was a tough situation for Cleveland and the effort - filled loss is still a good sign for the morale of this team. They'll get a few days off and then play the Detroit Pistons on Tuesday. The Bucks carried a two - game losing streak coming into this game and put in quite the effort against the defending Eastern Conference champs. In the Bucks five wins this season, they have allowed under 90 points per game on average and that defense held true tonight. The 105 points looks like a lot from Cleveland, but its an unfair indicator considering the Cavs scored 88 points going into overtime. Milwaukee was led by Greg Monroe, who totaled 16 points and 17 rebounds, while grabbing a game - capping offensive rebound in the final seconds. This is a young and exciting team and they should be a threat to any team on any given night. They'll look to start a new winning - streak on Tuesday against the Washington Wizards.
