Wrap-Up -- Cleveland’s first two opponents this season – the Celtics and Bucks – were supposed to be their closest contenders in the East.
The Cavaliers weren’t at their best in Tuesday’s win over Boston. But they were razor-sharp over the final three quarters in Milwaukee – carving up the Bucks on both ends and pulling away for the convincing 116-97 win on Friday night at the BMO Harris Bradley Center.
After ending the first quarter knotted at 25-apiece, Kyle Korver got the Cavaliers – who’d missed their first seven triples – off the schneid, burying a pair of bombs to get the ball rolling.
