One guard definitely looked All-Star starter-worthy in #Cavs 112-100 win over the Milwaukee Bucks. And it wasn’t the guy who got voted in

Tough break for the Bucks. Foul on Giannis Antetokounmpo was overturned.
If it stood, he was getting two free throws. If it was never called, Beasley has a wide-open 3. Instead, no foul on the review, empty possession.
Allen tip dunk. Cavs up, 106-95, with 1:59 left. – 10:32 PM

Final: Thunder 107, Pelicans 83
Valanciunas 14 pts, 9 rebs
Jones 14 pts
McCollum 12 pts (4-15 FG)
Pels come up short again against one of the top teams in the West. They were held to a season-low 83 pts. Just an awful offensive performance all around. B2B tomorrow in Milwaukee – 10:12 PM

Christian Clark @cclark_13
Final: Thunder 107, Pelicans 83
New season-low in points. Previous was 89.
New Orleans shoots 39% from the field, commits 20 turnovers.
Pelicans go 2-2 on the homestand. Bucks tomorrow. Celtics on Monday. Both road games. – 10:12 PM

NBA went from 1972-73 to 2021-22 w/o having more than ONE active player who had scored 70+ points in a game. There are currently FIVE active players w/ a 70+ pt game:
D Booker 70, 3/24/17
D Mitchell 71, 1/2/23
D Lillard 71, 2/26/23
J Embiid 70, 1/22/24
L Doncic 73, 1/26/24 – 10:10 PM

Justin Garcia @tmjgarcia
The Bucks have only scored 20 points in the 2nd half. 12 of them came in the final 2 minutes of the 3rd quarter and 4 straight threes – 10:07 PM

Eric Nehm @eric_nehm
The Cavaliers are among the most physical defenses in the NBA and this is the second time this season they’ve really bothered the Bucks with that defense.
Cavaliers up, 89-77, with 9:40 left. – 10:06 PM

Chris Fedor @ChrisFedor
Much more resistance at the point of attack on the defensive end for #Cavs tonight. Through three quarters, suffocating Cleveland has held Milwaukee to a 93.7 offensive rating. – 10:03 PM

Eric Nehm @eric_nehm
On the first play of the fourth quarter, Giannis Antetokounmpo has picked up his fourth personal foul. – 10:00 PM

The Bucks cannot buy a bucket right now. They’ve been stuck on 65 since a Damian Lillard free throw gave them a 65-60 lead with 8:30 left in the third quarter.
They’re now down, 72-65, with 4:22 left in the third quarter. – 9:48 PM

Joe Prunty wants a challenge and he let the officials know with some aggressive hand motions.
It was an offensive foul on Giannis Antetokounmpo with 7:45 left in the third quarter. Bucks up, 65-60. – 9:41 PM

Eric Nehm @eric_nehm
Phew. JB Bickerstaff was not pleased with that start from his team. Three shots in the paint for the Bucks with two of them coming off of offensive rebounds.
Bucks up, 63-57, with 10:47 left in the third quarter. – 9:33 PM

Well … a much more competitive first half for #Cavs against the Bucks. Six lead changes. Five ties. No one led by more than 8. Donovan Mitchell with 17 points. Jarrett Allen with 13 and 8 rebounds. Cleveland somehow right there despite a 98.0 offensive rating in the first half. – 9:18 PM

Scott Agness @ScottAgness
Devin Booker has 60, a Pacers record for an opponent at home. Previous record belonged to George Gervin (55, in 1980).
His career-high is 70 (vs Boston in 2017).
Pacers gave up 64 to Giannis, a Bucks franchise record, last month. – 9:17 PM

Half: Bucks 57, Cavaliers 54
– Antetokounmpo 17pts/5reb/6ast
– Lillard 15pts
– Portis 9pts/6reb

That’s another lefty poster from Giannis Antetokounmpo.
Just got Dean Wade. – 9:11 PM

Eric Nehm @eric_nehm
Damian Lillard was not happy after that play. He thought he got fouled a couple times on that drive. Instead, it was a turnover.
And he got a technical arguing the non-call. – 9:10 PM

Eric Nehm @eric_nehm
Damian Lillard is cooking here in the second quarter a little bit. He’s scored the Bucks’ last nine points and he’s up to 15 points on the night.
Bucks up, 53-50, with 2:39 left in the first half. – 9:07 PM

Eric Nehm @eric_nehm
NBA champion Sam Merrill has hit some TOUGH ones from deep in the last few games against the Bucks. – 8:53 PM

Eric Nehm @eric_nehm
Cam Payne is starting the second quarter again tonight for Joe Prunty.
His four of the bench thus far have been Portis, Connaughton, Crowder and Payne. Those four were the only four bench players to play on Wednesday. – 8:47 PM

Eric Nehm @eric_nehm
After one quarter, the Cavaliers 30-28.
Bobby Portis leads the Bucks with 8 points and 4 rebounds.
Giannis Antetokounmpo is right behind that with 6 points, as well as 3reb/4ast.
And Damian Lillard is right there with him with 6 points. – 8:43 PM

Eric Nehm @eric_nehm
Before the game, Joe Prunty talked about how Pat Connaughton does a lot of stuff that doesn’t show up on the stat sheet.
One of those things? That cut he just made to open up Bobby Portis for 3 in transition.
Even with the triple though, the Cavaliers still lead, 21-20. – 8:31 PM

Ugly start to this one from both teams. The Bucks started with an 8-2 run and then the Cavaliers went on a 10-2 run.

Cavs star guard Donovan Mitchell should be an All-Star starter, especially given that he has kept the team afloat in the face of ceaseless adversity, according to Cavs reporter Chris Fedor. cleveland.com/cavs/2024/01/d… – 6:03 PM

Chris Fedor @ChrisFedor
#Cavs Donovan Mitchell got beat out by Damian Lillard, but Mitchell should be the second East All-Star starter in the backcourt. He earned that. Here is my full, official All-Star ballot with explanations on why I chose each player
