Bucks Return To Winning Ways, Defeat Cleveland 129-112

Khris Middleton scored 21 points to lead seven Milwaukee Bucks in double-figures in a 129-112 win over Cleveland Monday night.  The first home victory of the young season improves Milwaukee’s record to two-and-one.  Giannis Antetokounmpo had a poor shooting night, but still contributed 14 points and 10 rebounds – and avoided fouling out for the first time.  The Cavaliers had a slim lead after the first period, then Milwaukee steadily pulled away.  The Bucks had 29 assists and nine steals while taking over first place in the N-B-A Central standings.  Milwaukee meets the Celtics Wednesday on the road.
