MILWAUKEE (AP) --- Kevin Porter Jr. had 20 points, Ryan Rollins added 18 and
the Milwaukee Bucks held off the short-handed Cleveland Cavaliers 118-116 on
Wednesday night for their fifth victory in six games.
The Cavaliers appeared to tie it on Jarrett Allen's basket underneath at the
buzzer, but it was ruled that time had expired. Allen had 27 points and 11
rebounds.
Cleveland was without James Harden after he broke his right thumb Tuesday night
in a home victory over New York. Donovan Mitchell and Evan Mobley also sat out,
with Mitchell nursing a strained right groin. Giannis Antetokounmpo missed his
13th consecutive game for the Bucks because of a strained right calf.
Jaylon Tyson pulled the Cavaliers to 116-114 with two free throws. After
Milwaukee's Kyle Kuzma missed a 3-pointer, Dennis Schroder scored from the
right side of the lane to tie it 116 with 35.6 seconds left. Porter hit a
free-throw line jumper to put the Bucks up 118-116 with 20.2 seconds remaining.
Schroder, acquired from Sacramento on Feb. 1, had 26 points, his most in nine
games with the Cavaliers.
Cleveland lost for the second time in 10 games to drop into fourth place in the
Eastern Conference, a half-game behind New York.
