CLEVELAND (AP) — Donovan Mitchell had 31 points and the Cavaliers took advantage of Milwaukee being without superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo to extend their winning streak to a season-best six games by pounding the Bucks 135-95.
Antetokounmpo sat with a bruised right shoulder.
The two-time MVP is not expected to be out for an extended period. Cleveland took the Bucks out early, bolting to a 22-2 lead.
The Cavs improved to 11-3 since losing starters Darius Garland and Evan Mobley with injuries.
Damian Lillard had 17 points for the Bucks.
Georges Niang added a career-high 33 points and Jarrett Allen 21 for the Cavs.
