Giannis Antetokounmpo scored 29 points as the Milwaukee Bucks won their 18th straight game with a 125-108 victory over the struggling Cleveland Cavaliers on Saturday.
The Bucks dominated inside and out as they continued their franchise best start and moved within just two victories of equalling their all-time longest winning streak.
Milwaukee's 24-3 start is the best in the 52-year history of the organization. Their next two games though are against two top teams in the Western Conference, the Los Angeles Lakers and the Dallas Mavericks. The longest winning streak is 20 games set by the 1970-71 Bucks.
Khris Middleton finished with 24 points and a half dozen Bucks scored in double figures.
Milwaukee jumped out to an 18-point halftime lead and extended it to as many as 28 points in the third quarter on the way to their 18th straight win.

He posted his 11th consecutive game with at least 24 points and a field-goal shooting percentage above 50 percent.
