Antetokounmpo gets triple-double as Bucks beat Cavs 126-116 in 1st game since Griffin was fired

Associated Press  

MILWAUKEE — Giannis Antetokounmpo made sure the Milwaukee Bucks delivered a win the night after their coach was fired. Antetokounmpo recorded his third triple-double in his last four games and the Milwaukee Bucks defeated Cleveland 126-116 on Wednesday night to snap the Cavaliers’ eight-game winning streak. “I think our experience really worked in our favor in this situation,” said Damian Lillard, who scored 28 points for the Bucks. It really isn’t.” Milwaukee has the Eastern Conference’s second-best record, but the Bucks weren’t playing defense nearly as well for Griffin as they had under predecessor Mike Budenholzer. The Bucks’ last loss in Griffin’s 43-game tenure was a 135-95 blowout – their most lopsided defeat of the season – at Cleveland a week ago while Antetokounmpo was out with a bruised right shoulder.
