Cavaliers – Bucks 133-115: Thanasis Antetokunbo put down 27, Milwaukee stooped and waits for Chicago

The failures were numerous, in the third game in four nights. The Bucks had to protect their key players in the last game of the regular season against a team itching to win to have two chances in the play-in tournament and were defeated normally and as expected by the Cavaliers in Cleveland (133-115 ).

Mike Budenholzer gave away thousands of dollars to 10 players (Grayson Allen, Wesley Matthews, Chris Middleton, George Hill, Bobby Portis, Giannis Antitokunbo, Serge Ibaka, Brooke Lopez, Pat Konatun de, Lucao Vielpon) and Milwaukee couldn’t face a team , that had the motivation and instinct of survival. The Bucks finished the regular season 51-31 (27-14 home and 24-17 away) and are now preparing for the series with the Chicago Bulls that wiped them out during the regular season.

The Cavaliers finished the regular season 44-38 (25-16 home and 19-22 away) who will have two chances in the play-in tournament. They will play the Brooklyn Nets away in the early hours of Wednesday and if they win they will play the Celtics. If they lose, they’ll welcome the winner of the Hawks-Hornets to take on the champions Miami Heat, at home disadvantage, of course.

Sandro Mamukelasvili (28 points, 8/13 two points, 2/5 three points, 6/6 shots, 13 rebounds, 4 assists) and Thanasis Antetokunbo (27 points, 8/11 two points, 1/3 three points, 8/ 10 shots, 5 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 block in 40:34) were the top of the Bucks, found themselves at -40, reduced to 14, but did not achieve anything in the fourth third. Kevin Love led the game with 32 points in 14:44, an appearance from his time with the Minnesota Timberwolves combined with an out-of-this-world record. Cleveland played seriously early on, laid the groundwork, and despite being loose in the finals, didn’t get injured. He is now gearing up for the game against the Nets in Brooklyn, knowing that if he loses, he has another chance to make the playoffs.
