Brandon Jennings had 24 points and eight assists and the Milwaukee Bucks overcame big deficits throughout the night to sneak out of Cleveland with a 113-112 overtime victory over the Cavaliers on Friday.
The Cavs led 17-2 less than six minutes into the game. The Bucks came all the way back to take the lead at the end of the quarter, but Cleveland built another double-digit lead early in the third.
But the Cavs missed their last five shots in regulation and Antawn Jamison missed 3 of 4 free throws down the stretch to lead to the overtime.
Drew Gooden had 19 points for the Bucks, including the first two baskets of overtime. He also drew a big charge on Daniel Gibson with 12 seconds left in overtime as the Cavs were trying to tie the game.
Jamison finished with 34 points and 11 rebounds on a night the Cavs were playing without rookie Kyrie Irving and center Anderson Varejao left early in the third quarter with a sprained wrist.
