CLEVELAND — Donovan Mitchell scored 27 points, and the Cleveland Cavaliers moved to 15-1 at home with a 124-101 win over the Milwaukee Bucks, who played for the first time since winning the NBA Cup. Cleveland is 3-0 this season against Milwaukee, which was without All-Star guard Damian Lillard because of a strained calf. Giannis Antetokounmpo had 33 points and 14 rebounds for the Bucks, who may need a couple more days to shake off their collective hangover after winning the second NBA Cup on Tuesday in Las Vegas. The Cavs are an NBA-best 24-4.
