Bucks great effort falls short in 111-108 loss in Cleveland
CLEVELAND (AP) — Kyrie Irving scored 28 points, LeBron James added 26 with 10 assists and Mike Miller provided a much-needed spark off Cleveland's bench, leading the Cavaliers to their fourth straight win, 111-108 over the precocious Milwaukee Bucks on Tuesday night.
Kevin Love added 27 for the Cavs, who got all they could handle from the young Bucks. James made 8 of 10 free throws in the final 33 seconds to put Milwaukee away.
Brandon Knight scored 24 and 19-year-old rookie Jabari Parker, the No. 2 overall pick in this year's draft, had 22 points for Milwaukee.
Miller, who wasn't used by coach David Blatt in the previous three games, made two 3-pointers, grabbed seven rebounds and had a key block in 18 minutes — all in the second half.
