Bucks 102, Cavaliers 88
Andrew Bogut had 23 points, Corey Maggette added 20 and the Milwaukee Bucks handed the Cleveland Cavaliers their 15th straight loss and 25th in 26 games with a 102-88 victory on Friday.
The Cavaliers used a 10-0 flurry to cut a 19-point deficit down to 79-70 entering the fourth quarter, then went scoreless from the floor for the first four minutes of the fourth to lose any chance at a comeback.
Keyon Dooling had 12 points and 11 assists for the Bucks, who won their second straight despite playing without their top two leading scorers (Brandon Jennings and John Salmons). Carlos Delfino had nine points and five rebounds in 23 minutes in his first action in two months.
Delfino went well beyond what was expected to be a 10-minute limit in his return. He had been sidelined with concussive symptoms.
Antawn Jamison and Ramon Sessions each had 22 points for the Cavs, but starters Alonzo Gee, J.J. Hickson and Manny Harris combined for four points. The Cavs are inching closer to the single-season, franchise record losing streak of 19 in a row.
