Bucks vs. Cavaliers: The NBA Cup comedown

After the elation of winning the NBA Cup on Tuesday, the Milwaukee Bucks looked tired and old against the Cleveland Cavaliers last night, losing 124-101 without Damian Lillard, who missed with a calf strain. Giannis Antetokounmpo was below the standard he set for himself over the past month and somehow still had 33 points, 14 rebounds, three assists, and three steals.
