It was a day filled with 27s Giannis Antetokounmpo returned to the Bucks lineup Monday to score 27 points and grab a dozen rebounds in a 112-104 win over Cleveland.
Antetokounmpo had missed two games with a calf injury and was limited to 27 minutes in his comeback, but he got a win for his 27th birthday.
The Cavaliers cut the lead to two points in the fourth period after trailing by as many as 13.
The visitors missed a shot and Holiday answered with a 3-pointer and the lead was preserved.
Two more Bucks – Khris Middleton and Jrue Holiday – scored more than 20.
Jarrett Allen led Cleveland with 25 points.
Milwaukee still hasn’t lost a game this season when Antetokounmpo, Middleton, and Holiday are all in the lineup.
The Bucks start a four-game road trip at Miami Wednesday.
