Cavaliers Dominate Bucks with Sharp Shooting and Steady Defense at Home
In a display of offensive firepower and defensive solidity, the Cleveland Cavaliers extended their impressive season record to 24-4 by overpowering the Milwaukee Bucks with a final score of 124-101. The Bucks, now standing at 14-12, struggled to keep pace in a game where the Cavaliers led for nearly the entire duration.
Cleveland's Commanding Performance
The Cavaliers showcased their scoring depth and efficiency from beyond the arc, converting 43 percent of their three-point attempts into points. Donovan Mitchell led the charge with an outstanding performance, scoring 27 points on an efficient shooting night that saw him make 60 percent of his field goals. His contribution was pivotal in establishing and extending Cleveland's lead throughout the game.
Evan Mobley and Dean Wade also made significant contributions to Cleveland's victory. Mobley added 15 points along with seven rebounds, while Wade matched his point total and contributed five rebounds of his own. Their efforts were crucial in maintaining Cleveland's dominance on both ends of the floor.
Milwaukee's Struggle
Despite putting up a valiant effort, the Bucks could not overcome Cleveland's relentless attack. They managed to convert only 47 percent of their field goal attempts and struggled from the free-throw line, making just 61 percent of their shots from there. The team did show resilience by amassing a total of 50 rebounds and securing 14 steals but ultimately fell short due to turnovers and an inability to contain Cleveland’s offensive onslaught.

The next challenge for the Cavaliers will be hosting Philadelphia 76ers at Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse on December 21st at 8:00 PM EDT. Fans can catch all the action live on NBCS-PH+ or FDSOH as both teams look to secure another win in this regular season matchup.
