However, the ball was released a moment too late and the Bucks were awarded the win. The Cavs were without Donovan Mitchell and James Harden in a game that was ravaged by injuries.
Allen had a positive game, scoring a game-high 27 points and also grabbing 11 boards. It was Allen’s fifth straight game with a double-double, and his 9th in 10 games since his monster 40-point performance against the Portland Trail Blazers earlier in the month.
With him was Dennis Schroeder, who was the second scorer that night with 26 points and five assists. The Cavs also saw Keon Ellis come off the bench to score 14 points, while Thomas Bryant added 11.
Milwaukee, however, was the better shooting team on the night, shooting an impressive 54.5% from the field and 42.2% from beyond the arc. AJ Green and Kyle Kuzma both made five of their 10 three-point attempts, and Myles Turner also went 3-5 from the three-point field.
The Bucks improved to 26-31 on the season and will now face the New York Knicks. Meanwhile, the Cavs will visit the Detroit Pistons and fall to 4th place in the Eastern Conference with a record of 37-23 and now trail the Knicks by a game.
